Just Enough - Chris Cagle

He said I was fifteen when I first tasted lightening

From a batch my daddy made himself

A stolen joke for me and the neighbor’s daughter

I wanted her more than I feared daddy’s belt

And when the buzzin' took the place of the burning

That drunk kiss 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 promise 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 for anything when I was younger

I raised more hell than the devil did himself

But the good lord must’ve knew I needed an angel

'Cause I was on my way to an early grave or jail

She was a breath of spring in 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 jailhouse floor

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’ve learned in all my years of living

Is that you, you never lived enough when you die

Like a drop of water to a thirsty man

Like a postcard picture of the promise 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
