3. “The Ballad of Enough”

 

i've been living in America

but that's not enough

fell in love with a beauty queen

she wasn't enough

i put my heart in money

couldn't make enough

took a hard look inside

just not hard enough

 

this train is running on empty

and i'm heading nowhere

been wishing she would write to me

ever since i been sober

 

i drove down to the city

couldn't get enough

i gave in to self-pity

that's never enough

i tried to change lanes

but wasn't fast enough

now i'm stuck here in traffic

boy, this is rough

 

how will i ever get west from here?

cause i'm not getting younger

i wanted to forget my sad affair

but i'm just too sober

 

well, i slept for a year

but not long enough

and i sang sad melodies

but wasn't sad enough

tried to find me a church

didn't have enough

then i tried to pull away

but i went too far

 

darling, won't you believe me

that i think i'm in love?

and darling, won't you kiss me?

cause that might be enough

 

darling, won't you believe me

that i think i'm in love?

and darling, won't you kiss me?

cause that might be enough
