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
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 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
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
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
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
