Parker McCollum - Never Enough Lyrics






Hurricane

Her daddy tried to warn me and her mama did too
When she was just a baby, I guess everybody knew
She don't change direction once she's made up her mind
She needs a lot of room and a little bit of time

It's probably going to take a couple hundred miles of four lane
'Fore she ever starts slowing down
Bet she'll have that Lake Charles, Louisiana, welcome sign
Rocking when she blows through town
Yeah, she's got some attitude
There ain't much you can do
But grab a beer and get out of her way
Someday, she's gonna get her name on a hurricane

I oughta go to town and buy some red spray paint
And write I miss her on the water tower by the interstate
She left that ol' screen door swinging off the hinge
I'll just put it back together 'til she tears it up again

It's probably going to take a couple hundred miles of four lane
'Fore she ever starts slowing down
Bet she'll have that Lake Charles, Louisiana, welcome sign
Rocking when she blows through town
Yeah, she's got some attitude
There ain't much you can do
But grab a beer and get out of her way
Someday she's gonna get her name on a hurricane

Yeah, it's probably going to take a couple hundred miles of four lane
'Fore she even starts slowing down
Bet she'll have that Lake Charles, Louisiana, welcome sign
Rocking when she blows through town
Yeah, she's got some attitude
There ain't much you can do
But grab a beer and get out of her way
Someday she's gonna get her name on a hurricane

Yeah, on a hurricane

Best I Never Had

Goodbye's the only thing I ever knew how to say
Always had a heart that never knew how to stay
Leavin' never felt like I was runnin' away
As long as I found someone else

Late at night was everything that I understood
Missin' you would always end up feelin' so good
Comin' back, it never made me do what I should
I just sit and blame myself

Why was I itchin' to get out of Nashville so bad?
I made you believe my dreams were the only dreams we had
I've been around this town, rode both sides of the tracks
And I know, girl, that you ain't comin' back
I just wanted you to know, you're the best I never had

You were always just a little out of my league
I guess that I was wilder than you wanted to be
I tried to hide the devil that was hidin' in me
But you saw right through it all

Why was I itchin' to get out of Nashville so bad?
I made you believe my dreams were the only dreams we had
I've been around this town, rode both sides of the tracks
And I know, girl, that you ain't comin' back
I just wanted you to know, you're the best I never had

Never had your heart (never had your heart)
Never had your love (never had your love)
And I never had a chance to tell you

Why was I itchin' to get out of Nashville so bad?
I made you believe my dreams were the only dreams we had
I've been around this town, rode both sides of the tracks
And I know, girl, that you ain't comin' back
I just wanted you to know, you're the best I never had

Things I Never Told You

Cop got me doing 88 on Main
He let me off with a warning
And I was hungover as hell
Most of them third pew Sunday mornings
I had a Playboy stashed
In a Johnny Cash LP sleeve in my room
That's just a few
Things I never told you

I kept a well hid can of Skoal
In the console of my Chevy
Got a real good education skipping school
In the backseat on that levy
If you'd caught wind of half my sins
You'da whipped my ass through and through
Back then if you knew
Things I never told you

I wouldn't be half the man I am
If you hadn't loved this boy
I've never said it until now
But I always heard your voice
Cuttin' through that loud rock 'n' roll
Every fork in the road
Underneath the dirt I've never shown you
Thank you's at the top of my list
Of things I never told you

When I moved away from home, I
Didn't realize how much I'd miss ya
A phone call don't take the place
Of your smilin' face
Cooking in that kitchen
You're the reason all my angels
And my demons finally called a truce
Yeah, that's just a few
Things I never told you

I wouldn't be half the man I am
If you hadn't loved this boy
I've never said it until now
But I always heard your voice
Cuttin' through that loud rock 'n' roll
Every fork in the road
Underneath the dirt I've never shown you
Thank you's at the top of my list
Of things I never told you

Thank you's at the top of my list
Things I never told you
Things I never told you

Burn It Down

Goodbye, strung out on the lawn
The line between us was drawn
All I can see is you're gone and you left me here
With this house on this ground, burn it down

I'll leave my memories inside
In that bed we loved in all night
Every word, every fight, every feeling
Stone cold, not a sound

Burn it down 'til it's ashes and smoke
Burn it down to the smolderin' coals
Burn it down 'til I don't want you no more
Baby, burn it down

Every last song that I wrote
About me and you growing old
Every sliver of hope, everything I know
Pile it up right now

Burn it down 'til it's ashes and smoke
Burn it down to the smolderin' coals
Burn it down 'til I don't want you no more
Baby, burn it down

Burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)
Burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)

Burn it down 'til it's ashes and smoke
Burn it down to the smolderin' coals
Burn it down 'til I don't want you no more
Baby, burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)
Burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)
Burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)

Burn it down
(Burn it, burn it, burn it)

Stoned

I cry when it's raining
I cry when it's dark
I feel like the whole world won't ever understand my heart
That's the hardest part of being alone
That's why I stay stoned

Hey, pretty thing, can I lay my weary head on your shoulder
And hold you like I held you when I hold you back when you were mine?
Baby, since you left, this bed just keeps getting colder
I lay here and wonder if you wonder how I'm spending my time

I cry when it's raining
I cry when it's dark
I feel like the whole world won't ever understand my heart
That's the hardest part of being alone
That's why I stay stoned

And I know it's not the answer
But it's all I know to do
Until I get, until I get, until I get over you

I cry when it's raining
I cry when it's dark
I feel like the whole world won't ever understand my heart
That's the hardest part (that's the hardest part) of being alone
That's why I stay stoned

That's the hardest part of being alone
That's why I stay stoned

Handle on You

I went and bought the biggest bottle they got 'cause you're gone
Drop the needle on a vinyl and cry to an old Haggard song
Sittin' at the table, baby, breaking the seal
Gonna see how much of this pain I can kill
I went and bought the biggest bottle they got 'cause you're gone

Tennessee and Kentucky 'cause you ain't here to love me
I drink now that there's nothing to lose
I've been fightin' with your memory, I hate the way it hits me
I wake up every day, black and blue
After all this back and forth, a fifth won't do
Yeah, I finally got a handle, finally got a handle on you

I tell myself that I should quit but I don't listen to drunks
I keep on sippin' 'til, "I miss you" don't roll off my tongue
Since you poured our love down the sink
I think I'll just stay here and drink
I tell myself that I should quit but I don't listen to drunks

Tennessee and Kentucky 'cause you ain't here to love me
I drink now that there's nothing to lose
I've been fightin' with your memory, I hate the way it hits me
I wake up every day, black and blue
After all this back and forth, a fifth won't do
Well, I finally got a handle on you

After all this back and forth, a fifth won't do
Yeah, I finally got a handle, finally got a handle on you
Handle on you
Yeah, I finally got a handle on you

Lessons From an Old Man

Out run your wild side before you buy that ring
The house on a hill don't make you a king
Big fancy car get you nowhere real fast
It ain't always the good guy coming in last

It ain't all about money, but money is nice
There's nothing wrong with whiskey, just keep Sundays dry
There's making a living and there's making a life
Lessons from an old man made a young man wise

5 o'clock comes slow, but the years sure fly by
And don't let 'em tell you that grown men don't cry
The dog's gonna hunt and the horse's gonna run
Keep the wind at your back and your face to the sun

It ain't all about money, but money is nice
There's nothing wrong with whiskey, just keep Sundays dry
There's making a living and there's making a life
Lessons from an old man made a young man wise

Yeah

Big high crown hat and a beat up old Dodge
Can still smell the cigar and the diesel burning hot
He'd lean way on back and take one more puff
He'd say, "I don't know it all, boy, but I know enough."
Said, "I don't know it all, boy, but I know enough."

It ain't all about money, but money is nice
There's nothing wrong with whiskey, just keep Sundays dry
And I'm gonna miss him just talkin' 'bout life
Lessons from an old man made a young man wise
Made a young man wise
Made a young man wise

Tough People Do

This ain't our first time to the rodeo, baby
This ain't our first drive down this road
Seems like the whole damn world's gone crazy
Maybe it's best we just take it slow
Feels like you could use a little more me
I could sure use a little more you
If you're asking me, that's all we need
For getting by and getting through

Lay down your head
Here on my chest
Go on and cry if you want to
I know things look bad
But I'm telling you
Tough times don't last
Tough people do

I hear 'em say that they don't make 'em like they used to
Oh, but, baby, they ain't never met us
You know that we got something worth holding on to
It don't age, it don't fade, it don't rust
When them bad days roll in like thunder
It ain't too long before they're gone again
Yeah, you ain't ever gotta wonder
If I'll be right here 'til the end

Lay down your head
Here on my chest
Go on and cry if you want to
I know things look bad
But I'm telling you
Tough times don't last
Tough people do

Bad times don't last forever
But as long as we're together
You can

Lay down your head
Here on my chest
Go on and cry if you want to
I know things look bad
But I'm telling you
Tough times don't last
Tough people do

Tough people do
Yeah
Tough people do

Speed

I came in going at a hundred miles an hour
Just a kid outta Conroe looking for something a little bit louder
Learning it gets blurry, in a hurry on the edge
I spent damn near fifteen years out on the highway pushing red

Hammer down, never sticking around, head harder than a tree
Foot on the gas, never looking back and always ready to leave
I remember shaking my head when my old man told me
"Boy, one of these days, you won't always be hung up on speed"

She came in slow and easy, falling like a feather
Her blue eyes felt like an old handwritten letter
I learned the hard way she was right about taking her time
So, I just pretend that wherever she is it's at the end of the line

Hammer down, never sticking around, head harder than a tree
Foot on the gas, never looking back and always ready to leave
I remember shaking my head when that girl was telling me
"Boy, one of these days, you won't always be hung up on speed"

Hammer down, never sticking around, head harder than a tree
Foot on the gas, never looking back and always ready to leave
I remember shaking my head when my old man told me
"Boy, one of these days, you won't always be hung up on speed"

"Boy, one of these days, you won't always be hung up on speed

Tails I Lose

Sittin' here carvin' this heart
Around your name on this bar
Where I come to fall apart
Bartender hands me my change
We oughta be done playin' games
But I ain't, you are

Nothin's gonna change your mind
Nothin's gonna change my love
Might as well toss this last dance
Jukebox quarter up
I've done everything I can
It don't matter where it lands
Ain't a damn thing I can do
It's heads you win, tails I lose

You ain't here and you ain't home
At least 'round here I ain't alone
It sure feels like I am
We gave it a hell of a run
The odds are a million to one
So I still still a chance

Nothin's gonna change your mind
Nothin's gonna change my love
Might as well toss this last dance
Jukebox quarter up
I've done everything I can
It don't matter where it lands
Ain't a damn thing I can do
It's heads you win, tails I lose

Nothin's gonna change your mind
Nothin's gonna change my love
Might as well toss this last dance
Jukebox quarter up
I've done everything I can
It don't matter where it lands
Ain't a damn thing I can do
It's heads you win, tails I lose
Heads you win, tails I lose

I Aint Going Nowhere

There's keys on the counter and a tank full of gas
There's some writing on the wall I can walk right past
Yeah, but we both know that I run right back
'Cause I ain't going nowhere

A million miles keep calling my name
With a million people all looking the same
There's an empty seat on every airplane
I ain't going nowhere

Dreamers like me wander off sometimes
A little restless running my bloodline
Always looking for something out of reach
Yeah, well, I can't stop, baby, I'm begging to stop now
I don't wanna have to make you miss me
So, I ain't going if you ain't with me
All I need is what I see right here
I ain't going nowhere

Fly real high and I talk real tough
Yeah, I melt like the rain underneath your love
I could hold you forever, but it'd never be enough
I ain't going nowhere

Dreamers like me wander off sometimes
A little restless running my bloodline
Always looking for something out of reach
Yeah, well, I can't stop, baby, I'm begging to stop now
I don't wanna have to make you miss me
So, I ain't going if you ain't with me
All I need is what I see right here
I ain't going nowhere

Too Tight This Time

This place seems so familiar
We always go right 'round
I just can't call this place home
So, I don't miss this town

I hear them big wheels rollin'
I hear you call my name
I know that if I stay here
We'll never be the same

I hope that one day you'll be mine
Just don't hang on too tight this time

I know that you're still angry
I would not understand
There must be something broken
Inside this lonely man

How could I do what I did?
How could I leave like that?
I know I said I love you
I won't take it back

I hope that one day you'll be mine
Just don't hang on too tight this time

This place seems so familiar
We always go right 'round
I just can't call this place home

Dont Blame Me

I think about that summer
Falling way too fast
Yeah, we were just a season
Yeah, too damn hot to last
I held you for a moment
Let the moment slip away
And I know you won't forgive me for the things I didn't say

Now, it's too late
Yeah, it's too late
It's getting late

Blame me for the ending
Hell, blame me for the start
Blame me for the wall you had to build around your heart
Blame me for the hurting
All the hell I put you through
You can swear it's all my fault
And I won't blame you if you do
But don't blame me, don't blame me
Don't blame me for loving you

You were more than I could handle
You were more than I deserve
You loved me like the devil
Sang the songs I never heard
I was drowning in an ocean
I was in over my head
If I could just go back, I'd undo everything I did

But it's too late
Yeah, it's too late
Yeah, it's getting late

Blame me for the ending
Hell, blame me for the start
Blame me for the wall you had to build around your heart
Blame me for the hurting
And all the hell I put you through
You can swear it's all my fault
And I won't blame you if you do
But don't blame me, don't blame me
Don't blame me for loving you

Is it too late?
Is it too late?
Say it's not too late

Blame me for the ending
Hell, blame me for the start
You can blame me for the wall you had to build around your heart
Blame me for the hurting
And all the hell I put you through
You can swear it's all my fault
And I won't blame you if you do
But don't blame me, don't blame me

Don't blame me for loving you
(Don't blame me, baby, baby)
(Don't blame me, baby, baby)
(Don't blame me, baby, baby)

Don't blame me for loving you
(Don't blame me, baby, baby)
(Don't blame me, baby, baby)

Have Your Heart Again

I know you and I know me
I know that I'm not what you need
But I've gotta get this off my chest
Some nights I lay here wide awake
Can't think about this bed I made
The second chance I'll never get

'Cause I would kiss you like the summer rain
And I would shiver when you say my name
And I would cling to it to the bitter end
If I could have your heart
If I could have your heart again

Your feet would never touch the floor
You would be all that I adore
I know just what I'd have to lose
I hate that this is where I stand
Hate how I'll never be your man
There's nothing I would not undo

'Cause I would kiss you like the summer rain
And I would shiver when you say my name
And I would cling to it to the bitter end
If I could have your heart
If I could have your heart again

But if I saw you out tonight
And you had happy in your eyes
I would smile and let it go
And you would never know

That I would kiss you like the summer rain
And I would shiver when you say my name
And I would cling to it to the bitter end
If I could have your heart
If I could have your heart
If I could have your heart
If I could have your heart again

Wheel

How 'bout another tequila
Out by the motel pool
I won't steal your heart tonight
But you can beat mine black and blue

When I hear that highway
I know it won't be long
'Til a goodbye kiss on a night like this
Turns into a goodbye song

Well, I'm a wheel, I keep on rollin'
I just go from town to town
Once that gravel gets to throwin'
Good luck slowing me down
Well, I've been high, and I've been lonely
I've been lost and I've been found
Baby, you're the only thing that's ever turned me 'round
I'm a wheel
I just keep rollin'

Girl, you better be looking
Be coming out of the night
Been runnin' fifteen straight damn days
And every mile you're on my mind

Well, I'm a wheel, I keep on rollin'
I just go from town to town
Once that gravel gets to throwin'
Good luck slowing me down
Well, I've been high, and I've been lonely
I've been lost and I've been found
Baby, you're the only thing that's ever turned me 'round
I'm a wheel
I just keep rollin'

Drop you off, drop a gear
Then it's all downhill from here
Yeah, it's all downhill from here

I'm a wheel, I keep on rollin'
I just go from town to town
Once that gravel gets to throwin'
Good luck slowing me down
Well, I've been high, and I've been lonely
I've been lost and I've been found
Baby, you're the only thing that's ever turned me 'round
I'm a wheel
I just keep rollin'

I'm a wheel
