Moonlight drippin’ through the pines, like tears on a whiskey glass
I’m starin’ down this lonesome road, prayin’ time’ll let me pass
Your name’s carved in every mile, in the dust and in the rain
Misty, my love, I’m callin’ out, but the wind just steals your name
I ain’t askin’ for salvation, just one more chance to hold you tight
Lord knows I’ve burned my bridges, but I’d walk through hell tonight
Misty, my love, I need you like the river needs the rain
Like a rebel needs a reason, like a freight train needs a flame
I’m broken down and bleedin’, but my heart still knows it’s true
Misty, my love, I need you… yeah, I need you
Remember that old jukebox, playin’ Haggard in the dark?
We danced on sawdust memories, two shadows leave a spark
Your laugh was like a Sunday mornin’, your kiss was Saturday sin
Now the bottle’s my companion, but it don’t let me back in
I’ve chased the dawn from Memphis to the Gulf of Mexico
But every sunrise without you just reminds me I let go
Misty, my love, I need you like the river needs the rain
Like a rebel needs a reason, like a freight train needs a flame
I’m broken down and bleedin’, but my heart still knows it’s true
Misty, my love, I need you… Lord, I need you
If I could turn these wheels around, I’d trade this ghost town life
For one more night in your arms, darlin’, I’d lay down every knife
The highway don’t forgive, but maybe you still might
Misty, come back to me… let’s make this wrong feel right
Misty, my love, I need you like the river needs the rain
Like a outlaw needs forgiveness, like a hurricane needs a name
I’m on my knees in Georgia clay, swearin’ I’ll be true
Misty, my love… I need you…
Yeah, Misty, my love… I’ll always need you
Ain’t no home without you, girl… just echoes in the pines…
Misty… my love… come back… one more time…
