I Need You Now
I need you now
Never been the one
To pick up the phone
Lovers undone, so lost on the run
Emotions burning all bridges as flames consume
The heat of love knowing I have lost it all
Holding the bottle I tumble and fall
Used to have it, used to be the fastest ball
Now I shake and tremble afraid to make the last call
Always been a country boy
Playing with my truck and all my other men toys
You never saw a tear from me
But I have cried, behind the curtain you never see
Never could I ever say, I need you now, don’t go away
Being strong and hiding tears of pain and sorrow
Pushed you all away, there is no tomorrows
Inside I am the child, hoping for love somehow
Never been the one
To pick up the phone
Lovers always wondered why
Bridges burnt were safer back then
Holding on to long lost dreams
Losing my grip and fading fast
If only I wasn’t hidden so well you would surely have screamed
The pain of despair never far from Jim Beam
Never been the one
To pick up the phone
Lovers always wonder why
My guitar never played a song goodbye
Traveling down lonely roads
Motels and one gas station towns
Dust filled shoes and dust filled dreams
I rest my bones, till the next bus is seen
Never been the one
To pick up the phone
Lovers always wondered why
While I wandered away wishing death came by
Never been the one
To pick up the phone
Always wondered if true love exists
Lost love still would slash my lifeless wrists
