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 okay if 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 baby      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      Close enough for rock and roll   Close enough for rock and roll   Close enough for rock and roll   Close enough for rock and roll      Close enough for rock and roll   Close enough for rock and roll   Close enough for rock and roll   Close enough for rock and roll
