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 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 Cantina 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 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 out like that I need you
