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
