That Was A Close One

I loved her because she was there

And I knew all along that it wasn't fair but I didn't care

Then I got the hell out of there

But that was a close one

I keep my freedom intact

Got rid of the hassle and rid of the flack

Yeah I cut me some slack

And I never thought I'd want it back but that was a close one

That was a close one and if I hadn't run

She might have got away with me heart so I played it smart

That was a close one but I kept my cool never let down my guard

That was a close one

The winter of '79 so cold and lonely

I found a good woman she took me inside

And I swear to god I really tried

And that was a close one

Will there ever be a love of my life

When I'm out of my prime and out of my mind

In the nick of time and well the feeling in here is fine

Just the close ones

That was a close one and if I hadn't run

She might have gotten away with me heart my precious heart

That was a close one but I kept my cool never let down my guard

That was a close one

That was a close one I loved her because she was there that was a close one

That was a close one winter of '79 that was close one

That was a close she finally got away with my heart that was a close one
