He Never Got Enough Love Lyrics - Lucinda Williams

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
