That Was A Close One Lyrics

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 prime 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
