The Way I Need

Living life day to day, night to night
Making a living with homemade wine
Never letting my roots cut loose
Just breathing is only the beginning
I tried to run away from this life of hard work
But I realized it is the only way for me
Blood, sweat, and tears are not enough
I need to live life moment to moment

This is my life of the simple man
Fighting the words of the devil
Never giving up or giving in
Just living life the way I need

[begin chorus]
There has got to be a little girl here or there
That can be made into my woman
Searching through tall grass and whispering winds
Looking for the girl to be my woman
Something's got to give
I need love, live life, the way I need
[end chorus]

Never stop living is my word of life
Always fighting the good fight, oh yea
Way down in my town the winds can be heard
They carry whispers of the way of life here
Bleeding from the heart is where lies passion
Sweating from the mind is how we are taught
Tears falling from our souls is how we work hard
I need to live life the way it is meant for me

This is my life of the free bird
Fighting temptation of the snake
Never giving up or giving in
Just living life the way I need

[repeat chorus]

Whoa, oh yea, man
The way I need
I need love, I live life
I need a girl to be my woman
I live my life moment to moment
The way I need
The way I need
Whoa whoa oh, yea
