I'm Doin' My Best

Single six months yesterday Thought I oughta celebrate So I went down to grab a couple of 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 an' 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 And 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 Yea, yea 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
