Close To You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I walked out on my job, drove across the Delta I had to be close to you Rolled the windows down, singin' to Lucinda I had to be close to you I didn't wanna hear what my mama would say I didn't care if I was pissin' my money away All I knew I had to be close to you [Verse 2] I left my phone in a truck stop diner I had to be close to you I honked my horn at the Tennessee border I had to be close to you Knocked on your door and kissed your mouth I squeezed you tight and I said it out loud If one thing's for certain I had to be close to you [Chorus] Close to you All the dead ends I've been down so long Close to you Nowhere else that I belong [Verse 3] Went down to the pub to buy a couple rounds I had to be close to you We shot some darts while the rain came down I had to be close to you We talked about Heaven and we talked about Hell We played the jukebox while democracy fell Waltzed across the floor I had to be close to you [Verse 4] We paid our tab and stumbled outside I had to be close to you Your leather jacket was soaking wet I had to be close to you No one else could understand How you pull me in with your calloused hands And the way it feels I had to be close to you [Chorus] Close to you All the dead ends I've been down so long Close to you Nowhere else that I belong [Outro] Walked out on my job, drove across the Delta I had to be close to you
