John Mellencamp – Close Enough Lyrics  Share

From John Mellencamp's album: American Fool

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.
[ Close Enough lyrics from

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
