Lyrics

I need a notebook and a pen,
A 5th of whiskey and a couple good friends,
An old guitar, a mandolin,
And an honest country tune.

I need a soft breeze on a summer night,
Tree-frogs croakin' in the cool moonlight,
A beautiful woman that'll treat me right,
And love that'll get me through.

(CHORUS)
I need a little comfort,
I need a little peace,
I need a great big dose of somethin' like sanity.
I need a little more money,
A fresh biscuit with butter and honey,
I need a song I can sing when I feel blue,
Well I need a bunch a things but, I don't need you.

I need a boat and a motor,
A reel, a rod and cup of nightcrawlers,
I need ta get drunk fishin' under a harvest moon.
I need to go out in style,
I need a hunk of wood to whittle while,
I wonderin' why it is, I don't need you, well

CHORUS

I need a cold beer on a summer day,
I need to know my sins' been washed away,
I know I need another second chance or two.
I need a fire when I'm freezin',
The remote control, a warm body to sleep with,
I need a little somethin' that I can believe in,
But I damn sure don't need you, 'cause

CHORUS
