He said I was fifteen when I first tasted lightening
From the bench, my daddy made himself
A stolen joke for me and the neighbor's daughter
I wanted it more than I feared daddy's belt

And when the buzzing took the place of the burning
That joint kiss he gave, 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

Then he said
When I was up to anything when I was younger
I raised more hell than the devil did himself
But the good Lord must have knew I needed an angel
'Cause I was on my way to an early grave in jail

She was a breath of spring in a long green 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

Then you say
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

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
