Chris Cagle - Just Enough Lyrics

Chris Cagle – Just Enough Lyrics

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 when the buzzin took the place of the burning
That joint kiss it made me burn more than I ever burned before
And it was just enough, just enough, yeah, just enough
To want some more.

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
A piece of candy candy from an old dime store
And it was just enough, just enough, yeah, just enough
It was just enough, just enough, yeah, just enough
It was just enough, just enough, yeah, just enough
To want me some more.
