I wanna drink that shot of whiskey

I wanna smoke that cigarette

I wanna smell that sweet addiction on my breath

I wanna ride cross west Virginia on the backseat of a Cadillac

You know some cowboys like me go out like that so I need you



[Chorus]

Like a needle needs a vein

Like Uncle Joe in Oklahoma needs a rain

I need you like a lighthouse on the coast

Like the father and the son needs the holy ghost

I need you



I wanna get lost in some corner booth

A canteena in Mexico

I wanna dance to the static of an a.m. radio

I wanna wrap the moon around us and lay beside you skin on skin

Make love til' the sun comes up and the sun goes down again cause i need you



[Chorus]

Like a needle needs a vein

Like Uncle Joe in Oklahoma needs a rain

I need you

Like a lighthouse on the coast

Like the father and the son needs the holy ghost

I need you



I wanna drink that shot of whiskey

I wanna smoke that cigarette

You know some cowboys like me go like that I need you
