John Mellencamp — 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 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 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
