That Was A Close One Lyrics - Singles - Conley Earl Thomas

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
