Close Enough

I may not be a pillar in my town

Or have the kind of job you think that I should.

I know you see me out running around with a couple of people

You think are no good.



I've tried to clean it up a couple of times, but I'm a

Backslidin' fool when it comes to walkin' that line.

It's OK. You think you're better than me.

Yeah, that's all right, girl, that's all right.



[Chorus:]

'Cause I'm close enough for rock and roll,

Close enough for rock and roll,

Close enough for rock and roll.

I'm close enough for a little rock and roll.



Yeah, it's true, I don't plan my time.

When you're lookin' for me, I'm hard to find.

I know you don't wanna run around with me.

With my socks fallin' down, girl, I'm just poor company.



I've seen your face, and it's a one-eyed jack.

We like to talk about this or that.

None of these things really interest me.

Hey, that's all right, girl, that's all right.



[Chorus:]

'Cause I'm close enough for rock and roll,

Close enough for rock and roll,

Close enough for rock and roll.

I'm close enough for a little rock.



I know you think I'm a rough cut, baby.

I ain't as rough cut as I am the blood on your hands.

Gonna love that blood right off of your hands.



[Chorus:]

Yeah, that's all right, girl, that's all right.

Close enough for rock and roll,

Close enough for rock and roll,

Close enough for rock and roll.

I'm close enough for a little rock and roll.
