I’m livin’ with a hunger
Been lookin’ for a fix
I’ve burned up half my soul
Used up my bag of tricks
Lookin’ for redemption
In my lover’s embrace
Believin’ Kentucky bourbon
Will impart a state of grace
Crossin’ the painted desert
The sun burns in my eyes
There’s sand in my mouth
From tellin’ so many lies
Lookin’ for redemption
In my lover’s embrace
Believin’ Kentucky bourbon
Will impart a state of grace
Bridge:
I need love
I need truch
I don’t need no friends
Like John Wilkes Booth
Can’t find it on the radio
Can’t find it on TV
Can’t find a hotel paradise
With a room for you and me
Walkin’ down a one-lane road
In darkness, rain and mud
Can’t tell if it’s despair or hope
Poundin’ in my blood
Lookin’ for redemption
In my lover’s embrace
Believin’ Kentucky bourbon
Will impart a state of grace
