I've been bitter, been a quitter, been a doubter A light was shining on me in my darkest hour Maybe I should try to pray a little louder And not give the devil his way Been a leaver, been a flier, been a faller Turned away when I could stand a little taller Put a little more money in the bottle Than I ever thought to put in the plate I'll never be perfect But I'm doing the best I can I'm gonna keep working On being a better man I can't undo the things I've done They led me to who I've become I don't wanna be just another one Of God's problems I've been a hater, been a lover, been a fighter One foot in the grave and another in the fire If I said I got it figured out, then I'm a liar But I'm trying, yeah, I'm trying I'll never be perfect But I'm doing the best I can I'm gonna keep working On being a better man I can't undo the things I've done They led me to who I've become I don't wanna be just another one Of God's problems God's problems I'm holding it together, holding it together But I can do better, I can do better I'm holding it together, holding it together But I can do better I'll never be perfect But I'm doing the best I can (The best I can) I'm gonna keep working On being a better man (I wanna be a better man) I can't undo the things I've done They led me to what I'll become I don't wanna be just another one Of God's problems
