Lyrics for The Best You Can

Looking at what I see What does living mean to me All that I can ever be is just a man And the most you can ever do is the best you can Riding on the world go round Being me and a what I am What I am, I'm just a man And the most you can ever do is the best you can Bridge: And what I've found is mostly worth it all The wisdom of the future is the past In city brouges and wise old southern drawls The words that say the most say things that last Riding on the world go round Being me and a what I am And what I am, I'm just a man And the most you can ever do is the best you can And the most you can ever do is the best you can And the most you can ever do is the best you can
