I'm doin my best

Single six months yesterday

Thought I oughta 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



But I?m doin? my best

Every day and every night

Hangin? 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 doin? much good

But I?m doin? my best



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



I said I?m doin? my best

Every day and every night

Hangin? 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 doin? much good

But I?m doin? my best



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 doin' my best



I said I?m doin? my best

Every day and every night

Hangin? 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 doin? much good

But I?m doin? my best

I'm doin' my best

I'm doin' my best
