Just What I Needed

I went out the other night
The Stones on the radio told me
That you can't always get what you want
But sometimes you get what you need.

So I went for my first Harley ride
A black mask under the helmet
And layers of layers to keep out the cold
I felt nothing
Except pure joy.

On a cold, foggy night
At a biker bar way up in the mountains
I did tequila body shots for the first time
On the neck
Yum.

We talked, laughed and cried all night
About everything
As if we'd always known each other
And parted as friends in the morning
Both knowing that we weren't ready for each other.

So, you can't always get what you want
But sometimes, they say
You get what you need.
