lyrics

The best that you can

Just south of Frebora somewhere down 101
I ran into an old friend he was on the run
From a women behind him and the law up ahead
And nowhere to go but south again

We drank some tequila under the desert sky
And we talked about old times I think I seen him cry
The words turned to silence night turned to day
And when the noon bell came along he was gone again

And I will sing this song for you
In the hopes it will carry, carry you through
If life doesn't happen exactly like you planned
Just keep on doing the best that you can

I've heard uncle Jimmy aint been right these days
Folks say that he's crazy he shouldn't be that way
But ever since Martha died it just aint the same
Now that she's gone and never coming back again

And I will sing this song for you
In the hopes it will carry, carry you through
If life doesn't work out exactly like you planned
Just keep on believing the best that you can
