Indigo Swing - The Best You Can lyrics

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
