Close Enough - 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

'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

'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

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
