Close To You

[Verse 1]

I walked out on my job, drove across the Delta

I had to be close to you

Rolled the windows down, singin' to Lucinda

I had to be close to you

I didn't wanna hear what my mama would say

I didn't care if I was pissin' my money away

All I knew

I had to be close to you

[Verse 2]

I left my phone in a truck stop diner

I had to be close to you

I honked my horn at the Tennessee border

I had to be close to you

Knocked on your door and kissed your mouth

I squeezed you tight and I said it out loud

If one thing's for certain

I had to be close to you

[Chorus]

Close to you

All the dead ends I've been down so long

Close to you

Nowhere else that I belong

[Verse 3]

Went down to the pub to buy a couple rounds

I had to be close to you

We shot some darts while the rain came down

I had to be close to you

We talked about Heaven and we talked about Hell

We played the jukebox while democracy fell

Waltzed across the floor

I had to be close to you

[Verse 4]

We paid our tab and stumbled outside

I had to be close to you

Your leather jacket was soaking wet

I had to be close to you

No one else could understand

How you pull me in with your calloused hands

And the way it feels

I had to be close to you

[Chorus]

Close to you

All the dead ends I've been down so long

Close to you

Nowhere else that I belong

[Outro]

Walked out on my job, drove across the Delta

I had to be close to you
