I loved her because she was there
|
And I knew along that it wasn't fair but I didn't care
|
Then I got the hell out of there
|
That was a close one
|
|
I kept my freedom intact got rid of the hassle and rid of the flack yeah I cut me some slack
|
And I never thought I'd want it back
|
And that was a close one
|
|
That was a close one
|
And if I hadn't of run she might have got away with my heart
|
So I played it smart
|
That was a close one
|
But I kept my cool never let down my guard
|
That was a close one
|
|
The winter of '79 was so cold and lonely I found a good woman she took me inside
|
And I swear to God I really tried
|
And that was a close one
|
|
Will there ever be a love of my life when I'm out of my prime And out of my mind in the nick of time
|
And when the feeling in here is fine
|
That's the close ones
|
|
That was a close one
|
And if I hadn't of run she might have got away with my heart
|
My precious heart
|
That was a close one
|
But I kept my cool and never let down my guard
|
That was a close one
|
(whew)
|
|
That was a close one
|
I love her because she was there
|
That was a close one
|
|
That was a close one
|
Winter of '79
|
That was a close one
|
|
That was a close one
|
She might have got away with my heart
|
That was a close one
|
