i need you

i wanna drink that shot of whiskey

i wanna smoke that cigarette

i wanna smell that sweet addiction on my breath

i wanna ride across west virginia in the back seat of a cadillac

you know some cowboys like me go out like that

so i need you

like a needle needs a vein

like my uncle joe in oklahoma needs a rain

and i need you

like a lighthouse on the coast

like the father and the son need the holy ghost

i need you

i wanna get lost in some corner booth

cantina mexico

i wanna dance to the static of an am radio

i wanna wrap the moon around us

lay beside you skin on skin

make love til the sun comes up

til the sun goes down again

cause i need you

like a needle needs a vein

like my uncle joe in oklahoma needs a rain

i need you

like a lighthouse on a coast

like the father and the son need the holy ghost

i need you

ooh i need you

i wanna drink that shot of whiskey

i wanna smoke that cigarette

you know some cowboys like me go out like that

so i need you

whoa i need you

i need you i need you i need you

i need you

i need you i need you i need you.
