Well I've been wonderin' what I've been missin' I guess I should have known

But my heart does and it ain't whisperin' it tells me just what it wants

Someone who knows what I like in my coffee and the shape of my ol' hat

A lover who always looks at me not through me I need a love like that

I need a love like that I could use a little sun on my back

A truck needs a highway a train needs a track I need a love like that



Well I need a new car but I can't afford it so I keep patchin' that ol' flat

My heart's lonely and I can't ignore it I need a love like that

Yeah I need a love like that...

[ mandolin - steel ]

Two young people dancing in the daylight they don't care where they're at

Waitin' on sunset a holdin' on so tight I need a love like that

Yeah I need a love like that...



One little baby a hidin' in the shadow of her daddy's hat

Lovin' and trustin' blindly she'll follow I need a love like that

Yeah I need a love like that...

Yeah a truck needs a highway a train needs a track and I need a love like that
