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
Ive tried to clean it up a couple of times, but Im a
Backslidin fool when it comes to walkin that line
Its OK. You think, youre better than me
Yeah, thats all right, girl, thats all right
CHORUS:
Cause Im close enough for rock and roll
Close enough for rock and roll
Close enough for rock and roll
Im close enough for a little rock and roll
Yeah, its true, I dont plan my time
When youre looking for me, I m hard to find
I know, you dont wanna run around with me
With my socks fallin down, girl, Im just poor company
Ive seen your face, and its a one-eyed Jack
We like to talk about this or that
None of these things really interest me
Hey, thats all right, girl, thats all right
CHORUS:
Cause Im close enough for rock and roll
Close enough for rock and roll
Close enough for rock and roll
Im close enough for a little rock and roll
I know you think Im a rough cut, baby
I aint as rough cut as I am the blood on your hands
Gonna love that blood right off your hands
CHORUS:
Yeah, thats all right, girl, thats all right
Close enough for rock and roll
Close enough for rock and roll
Close enough for rock and roll
Im close enough for a little rock and roll
