I’m Doing My Best

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Single six months yesterday Thought I ought a celebrate So I went down to grab a couple beers And I got so drunk I ripped my pants I asked the bouncer for a dance I thanked him as he threw me out I woke up at a Waffle House With a shiner and a wild brunette She don't know my real name yet Well no I ain't over you [Chorus] But I'm doing my best Every day and every night Hanging on by a thread That's stretched just a little too tight If I can't find some peace of mind I'll take what I can get I ain't doing much good But I'm doing my best [Verse 2] I decided I'd get smart And have a long talk with my heart At some quiet spot outside of town So I took my best friend's Pontiac I drove it like a maniac Right into the reservoir I guess we ain't best friends no more Just my luck a cop came by Who I beat up in junior high He said I better have a good excuse [Chorus] [Bridge] Some day I just might join the human race again If I can ever find a place to show my face again Yeah I'm doing my best [Chorus]
