[Hook:]
One tape in the deck
One way to connect (all I need is one)
One moment alone
One reason to roam
One place I call home (all I need is one)
One tick on the clock
One trick up my sleeve
One thing to believe (all I need is one)
One person to love
One verse and one prayer
For one person who cares (all I need is one)
So put one hand in the air
[Verse 1:]
It used to be I'd get afraid and I'd drive
Going forward's always been the only place I can hide
With no direction I would speed a hundred miles down the coast
Until I lose the ghost that's chasing me but never arrive
I know the night's scary, but we're alive and the pipe's cherry
And I've got a stack of papers like a library
I'm driving seeking a beacon of light freakishly
All I needed was a speaker that might speak to me
But my CD system is so janky a cone dangles
And it dances on its chord like it's Bo Jangles
You can work it if you hold it at a low angle
But when the ba** hits it grows tangled
Come on right speaker! I'll take everything you give me
But don't pity me, there's people living on a single kidney
In my sh**ty car I'm living large and mashing through my city
Sitting pretty I know
That I'm ready to go
[Hook]
[Verse 2:]
For beautiful babies in Vegas on their last chip
For all my ninth life kittens hittin' catnip
For heavy drinkers thinking they were never jack sh**
You're thinking that's it, but hit a backflip
You got a cracked rib or, maybe a bad liver
You got a bad hip or even a bad temper
But if it's last supper, one legged mad leper
Put on that gla** slipper, you ain't no half stepper
This ain't no last breath, it's only one collapsed lung
We're holding up the bank with nothing but a cap gun
Down to your last blank
Down to my last drop
Up in the gas tank
We better have fun
Time isn't a sacred cow
And I'm willing to take it down to the final minute or second, milking my last one
Going up for a take and I'm itching for action
All I need is one
I should remind myself that
All I need is one
[Hook]
