he never got enough love

Lyrics

his mama ran off when he was just a kid, so he never really knew her at all, just a picture of a girl in a sad blue dress, hanging beside a cross on the wall, his daddy used to drive those eighteen wheelers, now he drives the bottle deep into the night, he was always saying son, you're just no good, you'll never do anything right, he never got enough love in all his life, he wasn't brought up right he never got enough love, the screams and the bruises and the broken bottles, these were things he understood, from busted chairs to a broken heart, he got away as soon as he could, when he was just eighteen he got his very own gun, shot a kid near a liquor store one night, he was all mixed up he never understood why, he was only lookin' to prove his daddy right, he never got enough love in all his life, he wasn't brought up right he never got enough love, he never got enough love in all his life, he wasn't brought up right he never got enough love
