Doin the Best I Can
(music and lyrics Robert Wuagneux)

Mother when you read this note
I know the tears will well up in your eyes
I was your one and only hope
and what I?ve done you don?t think right
I?ve been listening to my radio
and slowly been hypnotized
I?ve torn away from your apron strings
Gonna give the real world a try

And I?m harmonizing to the rhythm of my wheels
Sleeping in the back of my van
I may not be what all your dreams were meant for me
But I?m doing the best I can

Hello Mom do you see the front
of this colorful post card
I?m playing in a cabaret that has three very plush bars
I?ve met a lot of almosts and one hit super stars
Only time can tell I hope you?re feeling well
best regards me and my guitar

And I?m harmonizing to the rhythm of my wheels
Sleeping in the back of my van
I may not be what all your dreams were meant for me
But I?m doing the best I can

Hello Mom I want to thank you much
for accepting the charges this time
Had to break away from the backslapping folk
and the cigar-breathed rehearsed lines
Still I have not figured out how this world measures time
But I?ve come to learn that when you take this step
it?s more than polish
that makes stars shine

And I?m harmonizing to the rhythm of my wheels
Sleeping in the back of my van
I may not be what all your dreams were meant for me
But I?m doing the best I can
