Текст Chris Cagle – Just Enough

He said I was fifteen when I first tasted lightening
From the bench my daddy made himself.
A starter joke for me and the neighbor’s daughter
I wanted it more than I feared daddy’s belt

And like a drop of water to a thirsty man
Like a postcard picture of the promised land
A piece of candy candy from an old dime store
And it was just enough, just enough, yeah, just enough
To want some more.

And I was up to anything when I was younger,
I raised more hell than the devil himself.
But the good God must have knew I needed an angel
‘cause I was on my way to an early grave in jail.

She was a breath in spring with a long grin cotton dress
And she looked my way when I didn’t know what I was looking for
And it was just enough, just enough, yeah, just enough to want me some more.

Like a sip of whiskey to a drinking man
Like a sprinkle of rain on the desert sand
A little ray of daylight on a jail house full
And it was just enough, just enough, yeah, just enough to want me some more.

Now I’m old and crippled, and some say, wiser
I can’t believe how fast the years they fly
And the one thing that I learned in all my years of living
Is that you, you never lived enough when you die.

And like a drop of water to a thirsty man
Like a postcard picture of the promised land
