| Lyrics: | Written by: 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 |
