This is about a recovering alcoholic who is turning his life around, but misses his girlfriend. His problems cause him to lose this significant person, and he wants her back. (thanks, Josh - Pittsburgh, PA)
At the end of the music video, a number for a help line is displayed. (thanks, Ryan - Apple Valley, MN)

I have a comment for Darrell. It does not matter what your personal feelings are. You are probably only going to alienate your position by talking against someone on a neutral site.

Collin Raye is great! "Little Rock" is a good prelude to "What I Need". Perhaps Darrell could listen to it and relieve some his intolerance and hatred for people who don't share his views.

Ryan in Apple Valley, here's a comment. I hate Colin Raye! He is a bigoted fundamentalist Christian bible-banger who hates gays, supports the war and advocates banning abortion! I am friends with several gays and lesbians, and Colin's beliefs roil my stomach! By the way, shame on him for using a Japanese vehicle as the title of his last major hit. (Little Red Rodeo was inspired by an Isuzu Rodeo, and any decent songwriter would use something like a jeep or a Blazer)

I can't believe there are no comments for this great song. This is one of my favorites.
