The Vegabonds - Best I Can Lyrics

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
