Close Enough Songtext

von John Mellencamp

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 runnin?around with a couple of people
You think are no good

I'me 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磖e better than me
Yeah, that磗 all right, girl, that磗 all right

CHORUS:
碈ause 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 looking for me, I'm hard to find
I know, you don磘 wanna run around with me
With my socks fallin?down, girl, I m just poor company

I磛e 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磗 all right, girl, that s all right

CHORUS:
'ause I m close enough for rock and roll
Close enough for rock and roll
Close enough for rock and roll
I磎 close enough for a little rock and roll

I know you think I m a rough cut, baby
I ain磘 as rough cut as I am the blood on your hands
Gonna love that blood right off your hands

CHORUS:
Yeah, that s all right, girl, that磗 all right
Close enough for rock and roll
Close enough for rock and roll
Close enough for rock and roll
I磎 close enough for a little rock and roll
