Ain't Enough Rocks

[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
