My daddy had a farm down in old Tennessee.
We raised us all up as one happy family.
Seven other brothers,
my sister and my ma and me.
Well,
living wasn't easy,
so halfway up the hill,
my daddy kept an old-fashioned moonshine still.
He said, if I don't brew it, then somebody
else will.
I'm doing the best I can.
So I'm not one for filling up my head with things
I should be doing or the things I should have said.
And I don't worry, because you've got
to understand, I'm doing the best I can.
Doing the best I can.
My daddy didn't care what
the preacher man said.
You're a little time living and a long time dead.
But he always read the Bible every night before he went to bed.
He taught us all to live our lives as good as we could
be and raised us with his own country philosophy.
Let the saints do the same and let the sinners raise a family.
So I'm not one for filling up my head with things
I should be doing or the things I should have said.
And I don't worry,
because you've got to understand,
I'm doing the best I can.
I'm doing the best I can.
So I'm not one for filling up my head with things
I should be doing or the things I should have said.
And I don't worry,
because you've got to understand,
I'm doing the best I can.
I'm doing the best I can.
Oh, Lord.
I'm doing the best I can.
All right, now.
I'm doing the best I can.
