He said I was 15 when I first tasted lightning
From a batch my daddy made himself
I stole a jug from me and the neighbor's daughter
I wanted her more than I feared daddy's belt
And when the buzzing took the place of the burning
Well that drunk kiss she gave me made
me burn more than I ever burned before
And it was just enough,
just enough,
yeah just enough
to want some more
Like a drop of water to a thirsty man Like
a postcard picture of the promised land
A piece of penny candy from an old dime store And it was just enough,
just enough,
yeah
just enough
to want some more
Then he said,
well I was up for 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 or 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 the jailhouse floor
And it was just enough,
just enough,
yeah just enough
to want me some more
Then he said,
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 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 penny candy from an old dime store And it was just enough,
just enough,
yeah just enough
to want me some more
