I was always trying to win the world, but somewhere I lost you.
simple trying few-words
The lyrics aren't simple, either. They're extremely difficult because I'm trying to say complicated things in as few words as possible.

His reputation preceded him, ... But man to man, I just liked him a lot.

He was a rap producer, and then he was producing rock with some alternative bands. I just didn't understand how I fit into that thing. But Bob Dylan's manager, who I know, called me and said, 'I know Rick very well. You should talk to him. He has no agenda. He just loves your stuff.'
