Paroles de Doin' The Best I Can

I never knew much about losing
I never knew the score
They threw everything they could at me
And then they threw some more
But I don't need your sympathy
I'll take what I can find
If I wander with the righteous
Or I stumble with the blind
And some they take to drinking
The red and rose wine
And others take the hard way down
Rough-riding on a fast main line
I'm not a winner or a loser
I'm one of the also ran
So pin a badge upon my back
He's just doin' the best he can
Doin' the best I can
Doin' the best I can
It may not look like much to you
But I'm doin' the best I can
You judges in your mansions
Locked in your marble halls
You bishops in your palaces
Who hide behind high walls
You politicians you hide the truth
Confusion is your plan It may not look like much to you
But I'm doin' the best I can
So don't give me no handouts
I'll either sink or I'll swim
You know I've been down to the bottom
And I've come back again
Don' give me no hard luck stories
I couldn't give a damn
It's not the winning or the losing
It's just doin' the best you can
Doin' the best I can
Doin' the best I can
It may not look like much to you
But I'm doin' the best I can
