The Best We Can

Mama's always yelling

Daddy's always tellin' the TV to go to hell

My brothers out of touch

He don't get out much

And the other one's just paying the bills

The thing about me is I'm clinically insane

I got a baby on my hip and the same last name

And we're all just doing the best we can

They've been through hell

So you know I can't blame 'em

Lord knows that I ain't ever gonna change 'em

Ain't no place, no dream of mine

No heaven on earth where the sun always shines

We're all just doing the best we can

I put tires down

Gonna move to the city

Where the grass is green

And the people are pretty

Well the thing about rich folks

Is they got problems

They just keep 'em all hidden

In their big ole closets

And the thing about my folks

Is they got issues

They just take em out at Christmas

Make it everybody's business

And the thing about me

I ain't no better

I'm just white trash hiding in a Pendleton sweater

And we're all just doing the best we can

They've been through hell

So you know I can't blame 'em

Lord knows that I ain't ever gonna change 'em

Ain't no place, no dream of mine

No heaven on earth where the sun always shines

We're all just doing the best we can

Now Lorrie's a saint

My family loves her more than me

She's a nice addition to the family tree

And she don't cuss she was raised up right

But she's drinking us under the table tonight

And we're all just doing the best we can

They've been through hell

So you know I can't blame 'em

Lord knows that I ain't ever gonna change 'em

Ain't no place, no dream of mine

No heaven on earth where the sun always shines

We're all just doing the best we can

We're all just doing the best we can
