BEFORE I NEEDED YOU
Words & Music by Mark Howard Bowles
I was born in an old Desoto
That my papa borrowed for the ride.
And they say when they spanked my bottom
that I laughed but I never cried.
Chorus:
That was before I needed you
Before I needed you
That was before I needed you-ooh
Before I needed you
Before I needed you-ooh-ooh
I was raised in a town called Yancopin
just about twelve miles from anywhere.
And I picked my share of cotton
making money for the county fair.
Chorus:
That was before I needed you
Before I needed you
That was before I needed you-ooh
Before I needed you
Before I needed you-ooh-ooh
Well I drove fifty miles to Greenville
just to buy a fading Madras shirt.
And I liked the Nehi peach soda
but never cared for Tab or Squirt
Chorus:
That was before I needed you
Before I needed you
That was before I needed you-ooh
Before I needed you
Before I needed you-ooh-ooh
