David Lee Murphy

David Lee Murphy (born January 7, 1959) is an American country music artist. Signed to MCA Nashville Records in 1994, Murphy made his first appearance on the Billboard country charts that year with "Just Once", a song from the soundtrack to the 1994 film 8 Seconds. A year later, Murphy's debut album Out with a Bang was released; overall, it produced four chart singles. His follow-up albums, Gettin' Out the Good Stuff (1996) and We Can't All Be Angels (1997) were less successful than their predecessors, and by 1998, Murphy was dropped from MCA's roster. A fourth album, Tryin' to Get There, was released in 2004 on Koch Entertainment (now E1 Music), with the Top 5 single "Loco" being released from that album before Koch closed its country division in 2005. more »

(David Lee Murphy/Waylon Jennings)

Well I've been up on the high road
Spent some time on the low road
Seen a little bit of it all if you know what I mean
From pickup trucks to limousines
Yeah I've made some turns Lord that took me out of the way
Been more than a few times that I wound up in the wrong place just

Tryin' to get there
Sometimes that ain't easy
When you really don't know where that is
But I've learned along the way
That we're all lookin' for the same thing
And I'm tryin' to get there oh the best I can

Growin' up's been tough on me
I still don't know what I wanna be
I hope the good Lord understands
There's times I need a helping hand
'Cause I'll take the long way to find the short way round
And just like everybody I'm tryin' to reach a higher ground but I'm

Tryin' to get there
Sometimes that ain't easy
When you really don't know where that is
But I've learned along the way
That we're all lookin' for the same thing
And I'm tryin' to get there oh the best I can

Tryin' to get there
Sometimes that ain't easy
When you really don't know where that is
But I've learned along the way
That we're all lookin' for the same thing
And I'm tryin' to get there oh the best I can

Yeah I've made some turns Lord that took me out of the way
Been more than a few times that I wound up in the wrong place just

Tryin' to get there
Sometimes that ain't easy
When you really don't know where that is
But I've learned along the way
That we're all lookin' for the same thing
And I'm tryin' to get there oh the best I can
