Hangin' beside a cross on the wall
He just shot a kid near a liquor store one night
These were things he understood
Just a picture of a girl in a sad blue dress
His daddy used to drive those eighteen wheelers
He was all mixed up, he never understood why
You'll never do anything right"
He was only lookin' to prove his daddy right
When he was just eighteen he got his very own gun
From busted chairs to a broken heart
He got away as soon as he could
He never got enough love in all his life
He was always sayin', "Son, you're just no good
He wasn't brought up right, he never got enough love
The screams and the bruises and the broken bottles
He never got enough love in all his life
Now he drives the bottle deep into the night
He wasn't brought up right, he never got enough love
He never got enough love in all his life
