I'm Doin' My Best Lyrics - Alright Guy - Gary Allan

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
