"I'm Tryin'" is a song written by Jeffrey Steele, Chris Wallin, and Anthony Smith and recorded by American country music artist Trace Adkins.

It peaked at number 6 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts.

"I'm Tryin'" is a mid-tempo narrated by a man who has been divorced for two years and is facing troubles in his life, such as working double shifts just to make enough money to pay alimony to his ex-wife.

[2] Jeffrey Steele, Anthony Smith, and Chris Wallin composed the song during a writing session in which they also wrote "3 Seconds" for Sammy Kershaw and Lorrie Morgan.

[2] Steele told the blog The Boot in 2020 that he came up with the opening line "This gettin' up early, pullin' double shifts / Gonna make an old man of me long before I ever get rich", while Wallin suggested the next line in which the narrator is revealed to be recently divorced.
