I'm giving, I'm giving, I'm giving it all I have
Just doing the best I can
(Yeah!)
She was 17 when he said their love would never fade away
And now she's 25 raising two young boys all alone on minimum wage
And it's hard as hell but you can never
tell 'cause you won't hear her complain
Keeps her head down, pulls her boot straps up,
just taking it day by day, singing...
I'm doing, I'm doing, I'm doing the best I can, yeah
Yeah, keep giving it, giving it, giving it all I have
I ain't got a lot but what I got, I hold tight in these two hands
I'm giving, I'm giving, I'm giving it all I have
Just doing the best I can
Yeah, I'm doing the best I can
Had a hot shot slapshot that'd make a schild drop
fastest thing on skates
Had the scouts all calling
but his star kept falling when he drank it all away
And now he's nine months sober
but the fight ain't over, got a baby on the way
Working nine to grind,
holds his wife at night, just taking it day by day, singing...
I'm doing, I'm doing, I'm doing the best I can, yeah
Yeah, keep giving it, giving it, giving it all I have
I ain't got a lot but what I got, I hold tight in these two hands
I'm giving, I'm giving, I'm giving it all I have
Just doing the best I can
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
I'm doing, I'm doing, I'm doing the best I can, yeah
Yeah, keep giving it, giving it, giving it all I have
And I ain't got a lot but what I got, I hold tight in these two hands
I'm giving, I'm giving, I'm giving it all I have
doing the best I can
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
Just doing the best I can
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
I'm doing the best I can
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
