[Verse 1]
Every truck stop needs some Elvis
And Elvis needs dashboard Jesus
Jesus don't need nothin' but the Father and the Holy Ghost
My cup needs black coffee, and my coffee needs some diesel
And all I need is a song to sing when I'm missing you the most

[Chorus]
Everybody needs somebody
Not just any old body oh baby
Everybody needs somebody to turn those black skies blue
Everybody needs somebody
Not just any old body oh baby
Everybody needs somebody, like I need you

[Verse 2]
18 wheels need a road
And country nights need stars to explode
I can see you dancin' in the headlights baby
Just hold on, I'm almost home

[Chorus]
Everybody needs somebody
Not just any old body oh baby
Everybody needs somebody to turn those black skies blue
Everybody needs somebody
Not just any old body oh baby
Everybody needs somebody, like I need you

[Bridge]
"I Love You" needs "Forgive Me"
And "Forgive Me" needs "I Love You"
And "I Love You" needs "I Love You" too

Everybody needs somebody
To miss you when you're gone
Everybody needs somebody
To talk you down on the telephone
Everybody needs somebody
To rain tears and lay a rose on your stone
Everybody needs somebody
[Chorus]
Everybody needs somebody
Not just any old body oh baby
Everybody needs somebody to turn those black skies blue
(Like I need you)
Everybody needs somebody
Not just any old body oh baby
Everybody needs somebody, like I need you
