Lyrics:
“A Love Like That”
I guess I should have known
But my heart does and it ain’t whisperin’
It tells me just what it wantsSomeone 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
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
Two young people dancin’ in the daylight
They don’t care where they’re at
Waitin’ on sunset holdin’ on so tight
I need a love like that
Yeah, 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
One little baby 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
I could use a little sun on my back
A truck needs a highway a train needs a track
And I need a love like that
Yeah, a truck needs a highway, a train needs a track
And I need a love like that…
