Close Enough — текст песни (John Mellencamp)

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 running 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 lookin` 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.

BRIDGE
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 of 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.
