Song Lyrics

I'm giving, I'm giving, I'm giving it all I have
Just doing the best I can (yeah)

She was seventeen when he said their love would never fade away
And now she's twenty-five
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, 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 child drop
Fastest thing on skates
Had the scouts calling, but the star kept falling
When he drank it all away
And now it's nine months over
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, 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
Yeah

I'm doing, I'm doing, I'm doing the best I can
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
Just 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)
Yeah
(Oh-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa-whoa)
