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
