"A Love Like That" lyrics

A Love Like That

Well I've been wondering
What I've been missing
I guess I should have known
But my heart does
And it ain't whispering
It tells me just what it wants

Someone who knows
What I like in my coffee
And the shape of my old 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
And I need a love like that

Well I need a new car
But I can't afford it
So I keep patching that old 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
And I need a love like that

Two young people
Dancing in the daylight
They don't care where they're at
Waiting on sunset
Holding 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
And I need a love like that

One little baby
Hiding in the shadow
Of her daddy's hat
Loving and trusting
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
