lyrics

I've always had trouble with taking things way too far
      If I'm out there goin' you can bet I'm goin' hard 
       I push and push and then I push some more
      Yeah I always had trouble with taking things way too far

And I ain't good at quitting or dealing with a broken heart
       Tears in my woman's eyes tear me apart
       Sometimes I wonder why I even start
       Cause I ain't good at quitting or dealing with a broken heart

But have mercy on a poor boy I'm doing the best I can
              I ain't never claimed to be more than I am
              If you could see my good intentions I think you'd understand
              I'm just a poor boy out here doing the best I can

I ain't scared of the work I'm scared when the work ain't there
      When the well runs dry and there ain't much left to spare
       I just grit my teeth and pull out my hair 
       I ain't scared of the work I'm scared when the work ain't there

So have mercy on a poor boy I'm doing the best I can
              I ain't never claimed to be more than I am
              If you could see my good intentions I think you'd understand
              I'm just a poor boy out here doing the best I can

And I cut my teeth in a traveling band
             I lay it on the line, I go all in
             It's just the way I am, it's the way I am

So have mercy on a poor boy I'm doing the best I can
              I ain't never claimed to be more than I am
              If you could see my good intentions I think you'd understand
              I'm just a poor boy out here doing the best I can
              I'm just a poor boy out here doing the best I can
