Lyrics

Need a Lady

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

Need a lady

Drive me crazy

Come with me and surely we'll be free

I need a, need a lady

Need a lady

Like the lady from Tennessee
