From the recording Songs I Wrote While My Family Slept
Lyrics
I began this life, on a very loosing streak
Born with a burden, no child should ever keep
My parents failed to love me, cuz they never gave a damn
Bound to a prison, without any bail
It don’t take much
It don’t take years
In all that time
I was never enough
No I wouldn’t put it past them, whey they say they did their best
It’s no easy task to parent, when you drink yourself to death
Jesus says he loves me, but it’s so hard to tell
When my soul is bound for heaven, but I’m stand’n in hell
It don’t take much
It don’t take years
In all that time
I was never enough
And after awhile
You don’t ask why
But I’d give…anything
Just to know I was loved
And through the years, I’ve tried
To move on from here, and let it go
But a small voice, deep inside
Is tell’n me.
It must be all my fault
Today I find myself in a Randals parking lot
My youngest in the back, the oldest in the front
The past is just a story, but it’s not my legacy
This family curse is broken and it ends with me
It don’t take much
It don’t take years
In all that time
I was never enough
And after awhile
You don’t ask why
But I’d give…anything
Just to know I was loved
It don’t take much
But it took years
In all that time
I was never enough
And after awhile
I don’t ask why
Cuz it means everything
Just to know that you’re loved
