Best I Can

I've always had trouble with taking 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 taking things way too far And I ain't good at quitting or dealing with a broken heart Tears in my woman's eyes tear me apart Sometimes I wonder why I even start Cause I ain't good at quitting or dealing with a broken heart But have mercy on a poor boy I'm doing 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 doing 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 doing 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 doing the best I can And I cut my teeth in a traveling 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 doing 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 doing the best I can I'm just a poor boy out here doing the best I can
