Lyrics

Doin? the Best that I Can
By Mike Lewis
{1 Verse Intro}

{1st Verse:}
Showed up for work I was ten minutes late
Writin? out the bills, I?d forgotten the date
Jumped into the shower didn?t have any soap
Get my act together, don?t have any hope

{Chorus:}
I?m doin? the best that I can?.

{2nd Verse:}
Runnin? down the freeway wanna make up some time
Trooper pulled out, tried to stop on a dime.
Hit by a pick-up clogged up the fast lane.
Get my act together, before I go on insane.

{Chorus}

{2 Verse Solo and Chorus Solo}

{3rd Verse:}
Run into my brother at the quick stop store
He wanted all my money, didn?t have any more
Roll into the driveway as I run out of gas
Get my act together, will this bad run pass?

{Chorus}

{4th Verse:}
Lookin? out the window and what do I see?
The world just keeps on turnin? right on past me
Won?t slow down and wait, just gonna pass by
Get my act together, oh my my my.

{Chorus}
{2 Verse Solo}
{Chorus Solo}
