Just What I Needed
Baby just lately I’ve been feeling blue
Life has been lonely without seeing you
I’m up in the morning before the bright lights
And thinking of you deep into the night
I got out this morning; I hoped you’d be there
I finished my shower but you were nowhere
I wanted to see you to relieve the pain
Just being without you drives me insane
When they let me out to clean up my cell
I was dragging my heels but I thought, “What the hell”
I gambled the lot and looked really hard
And low and behold you were out playing cards
My heart started thumping real hard in my chest
I gambled this much why not bet the rest
The good lord shined down it was my day indeed
I saw Mrs. Fox go into special needs
You blew me a kiss and I blew one to you
I said “I love you” and you said “I love you too”
I walked back and forth I couldn’t get enough
Until Mr. Fox hollered, “Hey Deeter, times up”
I was high on life acting like a clown
When St. Lewis told me to write it all down
I’m back in my cell a smile on my face
That’s “Just What I Needed” to deal with this place
You give me the strength to keep up the fight
“Thank you Brooke Elise, I love you, Good night”
