Now, tell ya what I need, what I need
 Well I don't need much, I don't have much
 You sittin' down a dark road
 Sittin' in a rain coat

 Oh, but Lord, I need just one thing
 And that's a little bit of sunshine
 I need the sunshine
 And a rainy day I know, I need to get back home

 Well I'm a lonely man, I'm a holy band
 Yes I need a good woman, I need a good one
 I need to get into heaven son
 'fore the devil take me back a'down south

 Oh, but lady, I believe in just one thing
 And that's a little bit of your love, I need your love
 Every lonely road you know, let me rattle them bones

 You give me what I need, what I need,
 Well I don't need much, I don't have much
 You sittin' down a dark road
 Sittin' in a rain coat

 Oh, but Lord, I need just one thing
 And that's a little bit of your love
 I need the sunshine
 And the rainy day I know, I need to get back home

 Oh, but lady, I believe in just one thing
 And that's a little bit of your love, I need your love
 Every lonely road you know, let me rattle them bones
 Oh, let me rattle them bones
