This is a live recording. My band played the song through 4 or 5 times and finally got one that we all liked, I hope you do too.
~ Paul
Paul is an Oologah, Oklahoma born singer/rider/roper now living in Nashville. If you were to look up the phrase “three chords and the truth” in the dictionary, you might see pictures of country legends like Merle Haggard, Hank Williams and Johnny Cash... but more recently, you might also see Paul. Though his songs are fresh and he himself is young, he is an old soul with a knack for capturing time-honored traditions and summing up classic sentiments in catchy, three-minute songs.

LYRICS:
I could take a big job up in the city
Make a little wad of cash
Have a roll in my pocket I could take out and flash
I could buy a big house big car big boat
Something that really shines
When it come to what I want
A lot of things come to mind
All I need is the Lord up above
A little bit of gas in my pickup truck
A fishing hole to throw a line into
All I need is a place to sleep
A hammer and a nail so the roof don’t leak
Somewhere I can keep a cold beer or two
A good pair of boots
And a girl like you
I could take a red eye out to Las Vegas
Bet everything on black
If it all works out drive back in a Cadillac
But I’d rather take a long drive out in the country
Dusting up an old dirt road
With my arm around you, listening to the radio
Chorus
3rd Chorus
All I need is the Lord up above
A good set of tires so I don’t get stuck
Then we can go anywhere that you want to
All I need is an old guitar
A good porch swing underneath the starts
All it takes to make a dream come true
…
Is a girl like you
