Best I Can

I've always had trouble with takin' things way too far

If I'm out there goin', you can bet I'm goin' hard

I push and push and then I push some more

Yeah, I always had trouble with takin' things way too far

And I ain't good at quittin' or dealin' with a broken heart

And tears in my woman's eyes tear me apart

And sometimes I wonder why I even start

'Cause I ain't good at quittin' or dealin' with a broken heart

But have mercy on a poor boy, I'm doin' the best I can

I ain't never claimed to be more than I am

If you could see my good intentions, I think you'd understand

I'm just a poor boy out here doin' the best I can

I ain't scared of the work, I'm scared when the work ain't there

When the well runs dry and there ain't much left to spare

I just grit my teeth and pull out my hair

I ain't scared of the work, I'm scared when the work ain't there

So have mercy on a poor boy, I'm doin' the best I can

I ain't never claimed to be more than I am

If you could see my good intentions, I think you'd understand

I'm just a poor boy out here doin' the best I can

And I cut my teeth in a travelin' band

I lay it on the line, I go all in

It's just the way I am

It's the way I am

So have mercy on a poor boy, I'm doin' the best I can

I ain't never claimed to be more than I am

If you could see my good intentions, I think you'd understand

I'm just a poor boy out here doin' the best I can

I'm just a poor boy out here doin' the best I can
