Did Your Best |
| At school he couldn’t do the work, the kids all called him retarded |
| He got a job in a warehouse where he packed and cut carpet |
| And he never moved up, and he never fell in love |
| He’s 50, but really 12, thinking 'bout giving up |
| She married young and always felt like she’d gotten too deep |
| Started feeling like her only way out was to cheat |
| Her friends all villainized, they didn’t see she was weak |
| It’s been 20 years, and it still breaks her heart that they don’t speak |
| He was a rockstar in small bars |
| Until his gigs weren’t paying bills, he had his daughter in the car |
| And he knew he had to make the choice to put down his guitar |
| And every day he wonders if he could’ve been a star |
| I know you did your best |
| There was a lot to lose, don’t have shit to prove to me |
| I know you have nothing left |
| But there’s more to you than the wars you lose, you’ll see |
| Diagnosed with Parkinson’s, it’s something she lived with |
| Was strong and independent, now relies on her children |
| Her voice shakes when she speaks, she’s embarrassed, she hates to talk |
| And every day she wakes up wondering if new parts of her are lost |
| He got her pregnant before he could finish school |
| He got busy, acting dumb 'cause he didn’t know what to do |
| He ignored he had a girl till her mother stopped calling too |
| On his deathbed he wished for the daughter he never knew |
| She loved her family: two girls and two boys |
| Husband in the garage, she yelled she’s sick of the noise |
| And then one day he’s out riding and he dies in a crash |
| Now she’d do anything to have the buzz of his saw |
| I know you did your best |
| There was a lot to lose, don’t have shit to prove to me |
| I know you have nothing left |
| But there’s more to you than the wars you lose, you’ll see |
| Everybody make mistakes |
| Everybody crash along the way |
| I might be going up in flames, but |
| Everybody feel the same |
| Everybody make mistakes |
| Everybody crash along the way |
| I might be going up in flames, but |
| Everybody feel the same |
| I know you did your best |
| There was a lot to lose, don’t have shit to prove to me |
| I know you have nothing left |
| But there’s more to you than the wars you lose, you’ll see |
