  • This truck needs a half tank
    These wheels need a two lane
    This radio needs three songs to play
    To get me 'cross town to you
    That dress needs to slip off
    That hair needs to come down
    Friday nights need to do what Friday nights need to do
    That's the truth

    Yeah, birds need bees and ice needs whiskey
    Boys like me need girls like you to kiss me
    "Fishin' in the Dark", needs Nitty Gritty
    Under that pale moon
    Sweet tea needs that sugar stirrin'
    Small town nights need both ends burnin'
    Shades need drawin', hearts need fallin'
    Boots need knockin', knockin' boots
    Knockin' boots, me and you, oh (oh)

    Long weeks need a weekend
    Cheap drinks need a-slingin'
    That dance floor needs some me on you
    And you on me tonight
    Sing alongs need to be sung
    Tip bells need to be rung
    Last calls need a, "Call that cab"
    And backseats need, "I want you so bad"

    Yeah, birds need bees and ice needs whiskey
    Boys like me need girls like you to kiss me
    "Fishin' in the Dark", needs Nitty Gritty
    Under that pale moon
    Sweet tea needs that sugar stirrin'
    Small town nights need both ends burnin'
    Shades need drawin', hearts need fallin'
    Boots need knockin', knockin' boots
    Knockin' boots, girl, me and you

    Doors need shuttin'
    Lights need cuttin'
    Lips need lockin'
    Boots need knockin'

    And birds need bees and ice needs whiskey
    Boys like me need girls like you to kiss me
    "Fishin' in the Dark", needs Nitty Gritty
    Under that pale moon
    Sweet tea needs that sugar stirrin'
    Small town nights need both ends burnin'
    Shades need drawin', hearts need fallin'
    Boots need knockin', knockin' boots
    Mm, knockin' boots
    Me and you, oh (oh)
