I Did My Best Lyrics - Let Your Dim Light Shine - Soul Asylum

Holed up in the dressin' room without a dress 

Kneelin' at the confessional with nothin' to confess 

And I knew all about my surprise party, I was spoiled and depressed 

And I acted surprised and I told lots of lies, yes, I did my best 

Stop the truck at the truck stop, I need somethin' to help me crash 

Food stamps, cheques and credits cards, but they only accepted cash 

There was sweat beatin' on my brow, my heart was beatin' out of my chest 

So I stole everythin' they couldn't give away, yes, I did my best 

And I did the best that I could do 

With all the mess that I've been through 

What did you expect me to do? 

I did my best for you 

I was waitin' for a chain reaction with the missin' link 

Waitin' for that trickle down forever circlin' the sink 

I was tired of bein' tired, I could not get no rest 

So I kept sleep walkin' an' talkin' in my sleep, yes, I did my best
