The Best You Can Lyrics - Singles - Indigo Swing

It's no crime to eat humility pie 

To love your neighbor and get socked in the eye 

Even Cagney knew when he needed a hand 

Sometimes you do the best you can 

There'll be days of silver and evenings of lead 

When you're lovin' you're livin' or you're wishin' for dead 

You gotta sit down, partner, til you're ready to stand 

Sometimes you do the best you can 

Well, I've been where you are, and I know the score 

It's all you can do to keep your chin off the floor 

But if you're wearin' a grin when they hand you your hat 

The world's grinnin', too, and baby, that's where it's at 

Whoever once said that the world loves a clown 

He never had his heart booted all over town 

You gotta look up brother, it's part of the plan 

Sometimes you do the best you can 

Sometimes you do the best you can 

Well I've been where you are, and I know the tale 

You're ready for rain but it's starting to hail 

So today is a lemon, it's over and done 

It could be tomorrow is your day in the sun 

Whoever once said that silence is gold 

She never felt lonely and she never felt old 

You gotta ease up sister, dig your man 

Sometimes you do the best you can 

Sometimes you do the best you can 

Sometimes you do the best you can
