MY BEST WAS NEVER GOOD ENOUGH Lyrics

Artist: Bruce Springsteen
Album: Ghost Of Tom Joad

'Every cloud has a silver lining, every dog has his day.
'She said 'Now don't say nothin'
If you don't have something nice to say
The tough now they get going when the going gets
tough.'
But for you my best was never good enough
'Now don't try for a home run baby
If you can get the job done with a hit
Remember a quitter never wins
And a winner never quits
The sun don't shine on a sleepin' dog's ass.'
And all the rest of that stuff
But for you my best was never good enough
'If God gives you nothin' but lemons then you make some lemonade
The early bird catches the fuckin' worm,=20
Rome wasn't built in a day
Now life's like a box of chocolatesYou never know what you're going to get
Stupid is as stupid does' and the rest of that shit
Come on pretty baby call my bluff
'Cause for you my best was never good enough

They who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as EAGLES; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31

I thank you for all the good advice, and it will be well taken; however, the lyrics alluding to your best not being good enough, is total BS. I am from the East so I'm not the least in the East. When I was in the West, I was the Best in the West. I'm not the Best, but I'm Better than the Rest.
I might be here in the Lone Star State, but I've got my NY Attitude with me at all times. And I Ain't just Whistling Dixie. You can confirm that with your classmate out in Cali.
