brandy clark - ain't enough rocks lyrics
[verse 1]
she grew up hidin’ bruises thinkin’ it was love
bourbon on his breath, poison in his blood
a wolf in daddy’s clothing, he’d sneak into her room
while that small town was sleepin’, god she wished she was too
[verse 2]
she got a little older but so did little sister
one night the ugly truth came out in a whisper
and that whisper was a trigger, only had to pull it once
they wrapped him in that bedroom rug and threw him in the trunk
[pre+chorus]
that angry sky was thunderin’
as they drove him to the cumberland
tied some river stone to him
and let that body drop
[chorus]
there ain’t enough rocks to drown that pain
ain’t enough water to sink that shame
might’ve broke her heart, couldn’t break her soul
but dead ain’t dead enough sometimes you know
ain’t enough rocks
[verse 3]
sheriff knockin’ on the front door
third day not clockin’ in
girls said he went on a bender
they hadn’t seen him since
cops blamed it on his liver
so they never drug the river
and those girls don’t even shiver
when they’re fishin’ off that dock
[chorus]
there ain’t enough rocks to drown that pain
ain’t enough water to sink that shame
might’ve broke her heart, couldn’t break her soul
but dead ain’t dead enough sometimes you know
ain’t enough rocks
[outro]
some crimes don’t deserve a jury
or a penitentiary
or the possibility of parole
in a quarter century
sometimes the only cure
for a certain kind of problem
is the right amount of limestone
to keep it at the bottom
