Just What I Needed

Baby just lately I’ve been feeling blue Life has been lonely without seeing you I’m up in the morning before the bright lights And thinking of you deep into the night I got out this morning; I hoped you’d be there I finished my shower but you were nowhere I wanted to see you to relieve the pain Just being without you drives me insane When they let me out to clean up my cell I was dragging my heels but I thought, “What the hell” I gambled the lot and looked really hard And low and behold you were out playing cards My heart started thumping real hard in my chest I gambled this much why not bet the rest The good lord shined down it was my day indeed I saw Mrs. Fox go into special needs You blew me a kiss and I blew one to you I said “I love you” and you said “I love you too” I walked back and forth I couldn’t get enough Until Mr. Fox hollered, “Hey Deeter, times up” I was high on life acting like a clown When St. Lewis told me to write it all down I’m back in my cell a smile on my face That’s “Just What I Needed” to deal with this place You give me the strength to keep up the fight “Thank you Brooke Elise, I love you, Good night”
