              Intro: 
 
D                    G                Gsus2           D 
Well, i've been wonderin'....What i've been missin' 
D              G                 Gsus2 
I guess i   should have   known 
D                   G          Gsus2          D 
 But, my heart does........and it ain't whisperin' 
D                G             Gsus2 
  It tells me just what it wants... 
 
Someone who knows.. what i like in my coffee 
and the shape of my ol' hat 
A lover who always.. looks at me not through me 
G          Gsus2        D 
I need a love   like that  
 
D     A        G 
  I  need   a    love like that 
D         A             G 
  I could use a little sun on my back 
  D                    A            G 
A truck needs a highway... a train needs a track 
G             A         D 
  I need a  love like   that 
 
Well, i need a new car     but, i cant afford it 
so, i keep patchin' that ol' flat 
My hearts lonely    and i can't ignore it 
I need a love like that 
 
Chorus: 
 
Two young people  dancin' in the daylight 
they don't care where there at 
Waitin on sunset      holdin on so tight 
I need a love like that 
 
Chorus: 
 
( quietly strum the next verse ) 
 
One little baby..   Hidin' in the shadow 
of her daddys hat 
Lovin' and trustin'  blindly she'll follow 
I need a love like that 
 
Chorus: 
 
Tag: Yeah a truck needs a highway  a train needs a track 
        I need a love like that!
