[Verse 1]
I’ve been saying goodbye since I was seventeen
Lost more friends than I got memories
Wrote some names on the back of my hand
Watched ‘em fade like a long weekend
Uncle said I’d never get it right
Courtroom echoes, orange jumpsuit nights
But I still woke up when I didn’t wanna stand
Doing the best I can
[Chorus]
And I ain’t got it figured out
Never did, still don’t now
But I’ve got two hands and a second chance
A little bit of rhythm, and a backward glance
No gold stars, no master plan
Just me out here
Doing the best I can
[Verse 2]
Tried going back to school, didn’t stick
Guess life don’t care if you’re not ready for it
Probation years felt like a loop
Same sad chair, same worn suit
Mama got sick, they didn’t think she’d pull through
Seven months in a hospital room
But I held on, even when I ran
On empty shoes
Doing the best I can
[Chorus]
And I ain’t got it figured out
Never did, still don’t now
But I’ve got some scars and steady hands
A whole lot of love, and a slow new dance
No clean slates, no lifelong plan
Just me out here
Doing the best I can
[Bridge]
Sometimes the light don’t come till noon
And sometimes peace sounds like a broom
Sweeping up what I thought I lost
Turns out healing just comes with a cost
[Verse 3]
Now I’m got through school, got my name on a wall
Got a job where they don’t expect me to fall
Met a girl who laughs when I forget the words
Says she likes the cracks in the songs she heard
Now I’m standing in shoes that fit just right
And I sleep through most of the night
Still mess up, still make new plans
Still here
Doing the best I can
[Final Chorus]
And I ain’t got it figured out
But I’m okay just floating down
With my feet in the sand, my heart in my hand
A little bit of peace, and a wedding band
No big show, no rockstar brand
Just me out here
Doing the best I can
