That’s All I need

© 1999 by Jim Stringer, Little Book Music, BMI

You wrote me these words in a letter  
You said, Jim, I’ve found somebody new  
But it should be understood it’s for your own good  
I’m only thinking of you.  
Thank you, darlin’  

That’s all I need, one more heartache  
We don’t want pain or the blues to pass me by  
No, I welcome the news like a hole in my shoes  
That’s all I need, one more reason to cry

So tonight I’ll go down to Ginny’s Tavern  
And I’ll stay till I don’t feel so blue  
And as each Lonestar Beer dries one lonely tear  
You can bet, I’ll be thinking of you.  
Thank you, darlin’

That’s all I need -- one more heartache  
We don’t want pain or the blues to pass me by  
I welcome the news like a hole in my shoe  
That’s all I need, one more reason to cry
