Lucinda Williams - 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
