lyrics

White sheets, comfy bed
this sure beats where i've been laying my head
A fresh clean towel, the smell of home coooking
how'd you know i's feeling lean and sour

I don't need much these days
I don't need much anymore
if you just give me three days
i'll be out your door

What a view of downtown
well i can't help but watch the pretty people go round and round
shiny shoes that they wear
well i can't help but wish i had one nice pair

Well I don't need much these days
I don't need much anymore
if you just give me two days
i'll be out your door

Black coffee in my hand
somehow i knew you'd understand
for i used to take it milky and sweet
but things have changed since i can't wash this dirt off my feet

Well I don't need much these days
I don't need much anymore
If you just give me one more day
I'll be out your door

The green, green grass of home is calling me
how can i thank you for your generosity?

It's only now I know how time can fly
I'll have to repay oyu in that sweet by and by

Well I don't need much these days
I don't need much anymore
If you just let me be on my way
I'll be out your door

You say you don't need much these days
you don't need much anymore
but you need to give me a few more days
because that's what friends are for,
that's what friends are for.
