A Little More Than Enough
Words by Douglas Heyes Jr.

A LITTLE MORE THAN ENOUGH

Ever since we fell in Love
I've had A Little More Than Enough
I was out drivin’ a big, old truck
My whole life was about runnin’ amok
I took a 4x4 for a Run out on the Flats
I ain't got no doors, and I ain't never coming back
Just when you're thinkin’ that y’all got it rough
Me and my Baby, we got More Than Enough

If you ever go lookin’ for this thing called Love
You are maybe on the Run because your life is getting’ tough
Just reach out your Hand, tell her you understand
And now, that more than ever, you just want to be her Man
We've been runnin’ from the Cops  out on Route 66
Stupid redneck hicks are as dumb as freakin’ sticks
Put your pedal to the metal if you want to get your fix
That little girl beside you says your Mind is playing tricks

Come on past the Borderline
Right down by the Riverside
Where the River’s deep and wide
With Heaven on the Other Side
So many of our Brothers Died
Nowhere left to Run or Hide
And so, they Fought and Died with Pride
When it's time to Die, you pick a side

That's how really hard it got
We bought some Time, but not a lot
They called us Wetbacks and Illegals
The Saguaro and the Golden Eagle
Come Tomorrow, we’ll be leaving
With nothing for the Unbelieving
No Leavening, no Crust of Bread
To say their Prayers, and go to bed

That's what the Good Lord said to me
When he laid my Head to rest
I was looking for Eternity
Somewhere Way Out West
He put a Gun into my Hand
And he made me very Fast
But a faster Gun is hunting me
And I know I may not last

Will you Shine a Light for me
Keep your Eyes upon My back
Will you come and spend the Night with me
Before my Colors all turn Black
Can you come and break this lock for me
To the shack out in the back
Cuz when #9 rolls down the line
She ain't never comin’ back

You and I are made of Stronger Stuff
You got to hold them, fold them, take a pass or bluff
Go tell them to Kiss your Ass, cuz you're better than they are
You’re 9 steps over the Borderline, as you ride a Falling Star
Does it ever cross your Mind to just Wonder where you are?
I was just 19 years old when I came back from the War
I was all for Starting Over, but I didn't get too far
Baby, I don't have a lot, but you can drive my car

I have heard a Fairytale of a far off, distant Shore
Somewhere between the In Between and the Sands of Evermore
When I'm prepared to Sail Away, I can't get there anymore
Marking time, I walk the Line, but I don't know what for
Why our Mothers have to Cry, why our Lovers have to Die
Why the Freebird’s gotta fly, why we have to say Goodbye
Why they Smile when they Lie, like Crocodiles, the tears they cry
As Comets Fly across the Sky, Love Sonnets and sweet Lullabies

The Lord does Promise to Provide Safe Travel to the Other Side
At the Ending of this Long, Dark Ride, a shinin’ Light on the bright Nightside
They say the River’s deep and wide, but I don't Know for certain
I know The Hand that Rocks the Cradle is the Man behind the Curtain
I feel your Pain, I know your Truth, an accident of Nature
You're a Willow in the Glen, and God's most Treasured Creature
Here's to when we fell in Love, don't sweat the Smaller Stuff
Cuz you know that what we got is A Little More Than Enough
