Somebody To Care

With a 38 tucked out of sight

In a hopped up Ford on a Friday night

He was burnin' rubber, halfway to Waco

Destination- liquor store

And though he'd never robbed one before

He made up his mind to do it

Then he'd lay low.

Cause all he thought he needed was a little bit of cash to roll on

A good set of wheels and some gas to get him there

But all he really needed was something real to hold on to

All he really needed was somebody to care.

The edge of town was just in sight,

There she stood in his lights

With a sign in her hand that just read "San Antone"

He hit his brakes and he stopped that car

Said I hadn't planned to go that far

But I'll give you a lift to the far side of Waco.

She said, all I really need is a little bit of cash to roll on

A good timin' man with a little bit of time to spare

But what she really needed was something real to hold on to

All she really needed was somebody to care

(Somebody to care) they drove all night

(Somebody to care) yeah the miles rolled by

They talked and joked and laughed and cried

(Somebody to care) the sun was on the rise

(Somebody to care) when love shined in their lives

All they really needed was somebody to care

The liquor store went undisturbed

And nobody heard another word

From the kid with the hopped up Ford over by Waco

Rumor has it second hand

He's a happily married man

Runnin' his own garage down in San Antone

But all he thought he needed was a little bit of cash to role on

A good set of wheels and the gas to get him there

But what he really needed was something real to hold on to

All he really needed was somebody to care
