lyrics

Tell me about the things I need,
Before I say, darling, I need you.
I’m sure they’re the things to which I’d concede,
But they’re not something that I need to do,
Right away.
Drop what I’m doing, stand in line, and pay.

(pre-chorus)
For medicine, salesmen,
Got a real good deal on a mandolin.
Play my violin for some government men,
Well, they’re only going to hear me sing it again and again.

(chorus)
Heaven only knows how much I need her,
Heaven’s just a step or two away.
Heaven’s when I hold her, heaven’s when I show her,
How close we are to heaven here today.

Show me how wrong it is to need,
Just when I say, honey, I need you.
I’ll confess to the sin of greed,
But that’s not something that I need to do,
Right away.
Stop what I’m doing, get in line, and pray.

(second pre-chorus)
For misers, mason jars,
Bought myself a yard full of old used cars.
Count my lucky stars from those county bars,
Yes, you’re only going to hear me sing it for hours and hours.
