"We Did Our Best" lyrics

"We Did Our Best"

You and me, we had our time
We learned to make our way
You said the prayers
I passed the hat
Back in the good ol' days

We worked the bars
We worked the park
We worked the old fairground
And never counted up our change
'Til the rides had all closed down

We travelled 'round the best we could
And slept where we layed down
We cleaned up in old back rooms
And we ate what food we found

That sequin dress
That old top hat
And the spotlight to set us free
You held my hand
We did our best
To get over you and me

That sequin dress
That old top hat
And the spotlight to set us free
You held my hand
We did our best
To get over
You and me
