That Was A Close One Lyrics

That Was A Close One

I loved her because she was there 

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

Then I got the hell out of there

That was a close one



I kept 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

And that was a close one



That was a close one

And if I hadn't of run she might have got away with my 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 was 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 pride And out of my
mind in the nick of time

And when the feeling in here is fine

That's the close ones



That was a close one

And if I hadn't of run she might have got away with my heart

My precious heart

That was a close one

But I kept my cool and never let down my guard

That was a close one

(whew)



That was a close one

I love her because she was there

That was a close one



That was a close one

Winter of '79

That was a close one



That was a close one

She might have got away with my heart

That was a close one
