Lyrics John Mellencamp

John Mellencamp

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 runnin´ 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

´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 looking 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

´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

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 your hands

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
