Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes â All I needed was you
Outside the church bells toll
For this wasteland we call home
There s nowhere left to hide or run to
-
Daddy drank real hard late at night
He d say without love life s a long fight
l promised I d win one fight for him, babe
-
The storm outside is raging
--
I close my eyes, I think about you, babe
--
I think about you, girl
There s got to be something left worth saving
We ve wasted too much time
I played the fool I played the soldier
But my struggling days are over
I wanted everything
When all l needed was you, babe
-
l didn t understand I was just a young boy
All I wanted was the rich man s play toys
I didn t really care how I got there, baby
Now I ve seen a thousand dreams die
In the oil fields, in the coal mines
No need to wonder why
Nobody s satisfied lately
The storm outside is raging
I close my eyes l think about you, babe
I think about you, girl
There s got to be something left worth saving
We ve wasted too much time
And I played the fool I played the soldier
But my struggling days are over
I wanted everything
When all l needed was you, babe
All I needed was you, girl, yea
All I needed was you, babe
