Conley Earl Thomas - That Was a Close One lyrics

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 ha**le 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
