Closest I've Ever Been Lyrics


Closest I've ever been
To meetin' Jesus was when
Me and Bobby Pinson put up our pink slips
On Blue Hole RoadMy needle showin' ninety
I flew right by him
Lighting fast 'til I had a bad goodyear blow
That ol' Chevy rolled and rolled and I knowHeaven must've heard the words
Beneath my breath
And I thank God, I ain't there yetThat's the closest I've ever been
To never seein' my momma again
Found out quick how precious life is
Drive my new truck a little slower than I didThat's the smallest I've ever felt
That's the furthest I've ever fell
Not too far to find out how life ends
That's the closest I've ever beenClosest I've ever been
To bein' the devil's friend was when
Shelly gave in to me
And him down by the riverI gave her my heart and my jacket

Still ain't got 'em back yet
She left me hurtin' and searchin'
For love or liquor or whateverQuicker than I could say sin
I slipped further in, than I was plannin'
I never shook the devil's hand
But I drank his whiskey and I loved his womenThat's the closest I've ever been
To tellin' God to hell with Him
Goin' down in flames, and layin' the blame
Why would He ever let her walk awayThat's the smallest I've ever felt
That's the furthest I've ever fell
But not too far for God to forgive
And I thank God, that's the closest I've ever beenGot it all behind me and every day I'm findin'
Another way to be the best man I canAnd I'm the closest I've ever been
Closest I've ever been, closest I've ever been

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

In 2002, he won the 10th annual Jim Beam Country Band Search held at the Wildhorse Saloon. That same year, Garth Brooks and George Jones recorded a hit duet of "Beer Run (B Double E Double Are You In?)," which Anderson wrote with Kent Blazy, George Ducas, Amanda Williams and Kim Williams. The duet received Grammy, CMA and ACM nominations. In 2004, Gretchen Wilson included Anderson's composition "The Bed" on her debut album, Here for The Party, co-written by Vicky McGehee and Big & Rich's John Rich. His own solo album Three Chord Country & American Rock & Roll was released in 2005. His debut single "Pickin' Wildflowers" reached the Top Ten country charts.
