Lyrics The John Butler Trio

The John Butler Trio

Close to You

I got to get away man

Gotta clear my mind, mind, mind

Out of this mundane god forsaken 9-5 waste of my time

I'm gonna tell the boss man

I'm never coming back, back, back

I'm just a one-way crazy locomotive jumping off of my tracks

Cuz I'm jacked up, sucked up, cut down, thrown around

Discarded like a cigarette butt

I'm-a just a no good excuse for a man

Yes you know I gotta pick myself up out of this rut

But I wanna be close to you

I wanna be close to you, you

I wanna be close to you

I wanna be close to you, you

I don't know why we've never been told

That the life we're living it is made from gold

Worked our whole damn lives just to make it, it sold

So boy don't worry, don't worry, don't worry

I got to get away man

This moment it won't last, last, last

I got a chained up brumby in my head and it's kickin my ass, yeah

I'm roaming like a dog, yeah,

looking for my bone, bone, bone

I gotta hijack my body just to make it my own, my own, my own, my own

Because I'm jacked up, sucked up, cut down, thrown around

Discarded like a cigarette butt

I'm-a just a no good excuse for a man

Yes you know I gotta pick myself up out of this rut

But I wanna be close to you

I wanna be close to you, you

I wanna be close to you

I wanna be close to you, you

I don't know why we've never been told

That the life we're living it is made from gold

Work our whole damn lives just to make it, it's sold

So boy don't worry, don't worry, don't worry now

I don't know why we've never been told

That the life we're living it is made from gold

Work our whole damn lives just to make it, it's sold

So boy don't worry, don't worry, don't worry now

Don't worry now

Yeah don't worry now

Yeah don't worry
