Gary Allan - "I'm Doin' My Best" Lyrics

Gary Allan

Alright Guy

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
