You Do The Best That You Can Lyrics

Daddy works the midnight shift

At the restaurant late last night

He works to the rising sun

He doesn't see anyone until the morning comes

And the daylight shines

And he does it all again

Night after night

To make it alright

Born in the city grew up in wartimes

Bought a motorcycle

To take mom to the shore

No worries anymore

Join the army

Came back to marry mom

Bought a car and guitar

Daddy your the country star

But this is not a love song

This is a cry for the honest man

Daddy I love you

You do the best that you can

With tears and woes

And painful regrets

Hard work and no time alone

Country music and a sweet sad song

Will help you ease the pain

Settle down in a little town

Raised the children in the rows

Play music stay up all night

With reds guppy and joe

Sold the car and guitar

For a house up in the hills

Moved in and had one more child

That makes six

And theres our home

But this is not a love song

This is a cry for the honest man

Daddy I love you

You do the best that you can

But this is not a love song

This is a cry for the honest man

Daddy I love you

You do the best that you can

Daddy works the midnight shift

At the restaurant late last night

He works to the rising sun

He doesn't see anyone until the morning comes
