I'm Doin' My Best Lyrics

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
