Somebody To Care

Somebody To Care - Tanya Tucker

Written by：Kent M Robbins/Richard Edward Carpenter

With a thirty eight tucked out of sight

In a hopped up ford on a Friday night

He was burning 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 litter 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 timing 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

Running 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

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

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
