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 runninī around with a couple of people
You think are no good

Iīve tried to clean it up a couple of times, but iīm a
Backslidinī fool when it comes to walkinī that line
Itīs ok. you think, youīre better than me
Yeah, thatīs all right, girl, thatīs all right

Chorus:
īcause iīm close enough for rock and roll
Close enough for rock and roll
Close enough for rock and roll
Iīm close enough for a little rock and roll

Yeah, itīs true, I donīt plan my time
When youīre looking for me, I īm hard to find
I know, you donīt wanna run around with me
With my socks fallinī down, girl, iīm just poor company

Iīve seen your face, and itīs a one-eyed jack
We like to talk about this or that
None of these things really interest me
Hey, thatīs all right, girl, thatīs all right

Chorus:
īcause iīm close enough for rock and roll
Close enough for rock and roll
Close enough for rock and roll
Iīm close enough for a little rock and roll

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

Chorus:
Yeah, thatīs all right, girl, thatīs all right
Close enough for rock and roll
Close enough for rock and roll
Close enough for rock and roll
Iīm close enough for a little rock and roll
