never good enough

you're never good enough
no matter how hard you try
thank goodness I have such
an ability to cry
an ability to doubt
every word from my mouth
every mother taught their baby
here in the deep south
every father beat it into
little bodies as they cried
thank goodness I was an expert
when I stole and when I lied
when I drank the brandy down
and I hid away at night
thank goodness he didnt find me
half the time I took flight
You're never good enough
no matter what you do
it seems the only person
who knows the truth is you
