Lyrics:

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 dont know my real name yet
Well no I aint over you

But Im doin my best
Every day and every night
Hangin on by a thread
Thats stretched just a little too tight
If I cant find some peace of mind
Ill take what I can get
I aint doin much good
But Im doin my best

I decided Id get smart
And have a long talk with my heart
At some quiet spot outside of town

So I took my best friends Pontiac
I drove it like a maniac
Right into the reservoir
I guess we aint 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 Im doin my best
Every day and every night
Hangin on by a thread
Thats stretched just a little too tight
If I cant find some peace of mind
Ill take what I can get
I aint doin much good
But Im 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 Im doin my best
Every day and every night
Hangin on by a thread
Thats stretched just a little too tight
If I cant find some peace of mind
Ill take what I can get
I aint doin much good
But Im doin my best
I'm doin' my best
I'm doin' my best
