Lyrics
Need A Lady
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, I've had some thought in a loving direction
I want to be the part of someone' affection
Been alone too long, my head hangin' low
There's no one to see and no place to go
Need a lady
Drive me crazy
Come with me and surely we'll be free
I walk the streets in the dead of night
Wishing for some lovin' arms to hold me tight
But it's always down to my old guitar
That's all that keeps me from the bars
I need a, need a lady
Need a lady
Like the lady from Tennessee
