It won four Grammy Awards in 2011, including for Song of the Year and Record of the Year, the first country song to win both honors since 2007, and only the second ever.

Picture perfect memories

Scattered all around the floor

Reaching for the phone cause,

I can't fight it anymore .

And I wonder if I ever cross your mind

For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one

I'm all alone and I need you now

Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control

And I need you now.

And I don't how I can do without,

I just need you now.

Another shot of whiskey,

Can't stop looking at the door

Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before.

And I wonder if I ever cross your mind

For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one

I'm all alone and I need you now

Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control

And I need you now.

And I don't how I can do without,

I just need you now.

(Whoa, whoa)

Yes, I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all.

It's a quarter after one

I'm all alone and I need you now

Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control

And I need you now.

And I don't how I can do without,

I just need you now.

I just need you now.

Oh baby I need you now.
