HE NEVER GOT ENOUGH LOVE (Lucinda Williams & Betty Elders) ----------------------------------------------------------
[intro: G G]
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
[instrumental]
The screams and the bruises, and the broken bottles These were things he understood 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
