Artist/Band: Gary Allan
Lyrics for Song: I'm Doin' My Best
Lyrics for Album: Alright Guys [MCA] [2001]



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.



--- Instrumental ---



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...
