Best I Can Lyrics by The Vegabonds

V

2019

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
And I ain't good at quittin' or dealin' with a broken heart
When 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Guitar solo]
[Bridge]
Then 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
[Outro]
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
