“I DID MY BEST”

“I Did My Best” is the closest I’ve ever come to writing about being on the road. There’s about five categories of songs I try to avoid like the plague: dancing, love, sex, partying, and being on the road. But you gotta write about what you know. It’s hard for me to think that I’m not resigning in this song.

Holed up in the dressing room

Without a dress

Kneeling at the confessional

With nothing to confess

And I knew all about my surprise party

I was spoiled and depressed

So I acted surprised, and I told lots of lies

Yes, I did my best

Stop the truck at the truck stop

I need something to help me crash

Food stamps, checks, and credit cards

But they only accepted cash

There was sweat beading on my brow

My heart was beating out of my chest

So I stole everything they couldn’t give away

Yes, I did my best

And I did the best that I could do

With all the mess that I’ve been through

What did you expect me to do?

I did my best for you

I was waiting for a chain reaction

With a missing link

Waiting for that trickle down

Forever circling the sink

I was tired of being tired

I could not get no rest

So I kept sleepwalking

And talking in my sleep

Yes, I did my best

And I did the best that I could do

With all the mess that I’ve been through

What did you expect me to do?

I did my best for you
