Weird Lyrics: Tim McGraw's "I Need You"

I heard this song the other day, Ok I admit, I like some country music, only when it's sung by women though. Had to sound off on these lyrics, my comments are in red. Still confused.

I wanna drink that shot of whiskey
I wanna smoke that cigarette
I wanna smell that sweet addiction on my breath
(Ever smelled cigs on breath? It sure ain't sweet...)
I wanna ride cross West Virginia on the backseat of a Cadillac
(Pray tell, who is driving? And WHY West Virginia??)
You know some cowboys like me go out like that so I need you
(Pretty sure cowboys don't get driven around like fuckin' Ms. Daisy....)

[Chorus]
Like a needle needs a vein
(DOES a needle need a vein? Is that a thing? What kind of junkie is writing this shit?!)
Like Uncle Joe in Oklahoma needs a rain
(Why does Uncle Joe need rain so much? I'm assuming he has crops but he also might have an upcoming white water rafting trip...)
I need you like a lighthouse on the coast
(This is a country song. What the HELL do you know about coasts!?)
Like the father and the son needs the holy ghost
(Pretty sure in Sunday school they said the Father, Son, AND the ghost that Christians pray to is all one person. It'd be insanity to miss YOURSELF right? I'm sure some Pastor could explain this one right?? Also, isn't it weird how Christians believe in and pray to a ghost?? Nuts.)
I need you

I wanna get lost in some corner booth
Cantina Mexico
(If you're LOST in a booth it's best you put down the tequila and start making some better decisions)
I wanna dance to the static of an a.m. radio
(You gotta have really good drugs to dance to static man....)
I wanna wrap the moon around us and lay beside you skin on skin
Make love 'til the sun comes up and the sun goes down again cause i need you
(You gotta have really good drug to alter the universe for your sexual benefit man)

[Chorus]
Like a needle needs a vein
Like Uncle Joe in Oklahoma needs a rain
I need you
Like a lighthouse on the coast
Like the father and the son needs the holy ghost
I need you

I wanna drink that shot of whiskey
I wanna smoke that cigarette
You know some cowboys like me go out like that I need you
