You thought I was dangerous, I thought you were cool

I met you in a parking lot one day after school

We didn't have no money, we didn't have no sense

You jumped in beside me, and then we jumped the fence.



We had just enough gas to get to Memphis

Just the right song playing on the radio

Just enough highway to push the limit

You and me baby and just enough rope



Oh, just enough rope

Barely hangin' on, barely in control

You and me baby and just enough rope



I was wild about you, you gave me your heart

We made a solemn promise to never be apart

Days turned into months yeah, we were runnin' free

You and me together and baby makes three



We had just enough pride to think we'd make it

Just enough ride to know the way to go

Just enough time to find a preacher

We tied the knot with just enough rope



Oh, just enough rope

Barely hangin' on, barely in control

You and me baby and just enough rope



We could have hung ourselves out to dry

But we wrapped it around you and I

Then we pulled it tight

Here we stand ready to turn another page

Some things just get better with age

I've been lovin' you since I can't remember when

I said it before and I'll say it again



We got just enough fire to keep it burning

Just neough dream to never give up hope

Just neough love to last forever

We keep it tied together with just enough rope

We keept it all together with just enough rope



Oh, just enough rope

We're still hangin' on we're still going strong

Just enough rope

Oh, just enough rope

'Round and around and around we go
