Jim Lauderdale

Somwhere in the middle of the night
I found the strength to go back home
Kind of late for doing right
Kind of late to be alone
I need you like I need air
Sometimes life isn't so unfair
I tell myself before I hit the wall
That I'm still learning how to crawl
I dreamt that you were taking flight
And I was afraid to go along
Then you came back and got me out
Told me things to make me strong
I need you like I need air
Sometimes life isn't so unfair
I tell myself before I hit the wall
That I'm still learning how to crawl
I'm not asking miracles
I'm just glad to get you back there at all
I'm not really asking much
Some of us are moving slow
SOLO
I need you like I need air
Sometimes life isn't so unfair
I tell myself before I hit the wall
That I'm still learning how to crawl
I need you like I need air
Sometimes life isn't so unfair
I tell myself before I hit the wall
That I'm still learning how to crawl
Somwhere in the middle of the night
I found the strength to go back home
