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 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 But 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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/that-was-a-close-one-lyrics-earl-thomas-conley.html ] 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
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 a close one
That was a close one She might have got away with my heart That was a close one
