Soul Asylum - I Did My Best lyrics

Holed up in the dressing room without a dress

Kneeling at the confessional with nothing to confess

And I knew all about my surprise party, I was spoiled and depressed

Hey, I acted surprised and I told lots of lies, yes I did my best

Stop the truck at the truck stop, I need something to help me crash

Food stamps, checks and credits cards, but they only accepted cash

There was sweat beating on my brow, my heart was beating out of my chest

So I stole everything they couldn't give away, yes, I did my best

And I did the best that I could do

With all the mess that I've been through

What did you expect me to do

I did my best for you

I was waiting for a chain reaction with the missing link

Waiting for that trickle-down forever circling the sink

I was tired of being tired, I could not get no rest

So I kept sleep-walking and talking in my sleep, yes, I did my best

And I did the best that I could do

With all the mess that I've been through

What did you expect me to do

I did my best for you

I did my best for you
