She takes care of me whenever I need lovin' she takes care of me
She's so good for me she don't tie me down but she takes care of me

The colored light stand by as I pass through another town
Just riding on the wind I'm not the kind to settle down
And where the highway ends my baby's standing in the door
She takes what I can give and nothing more
She takes care of me...

I can't promise her tomorrow I won't drift away
Cause I might be in Dallas maybe down in Santa Fe
She understands today it's really all that's on my mind
I'll love her hard and leave the past behind
She takes care of me...
