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   Hangin' 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 sayin', "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   He just 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
