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.
