I walked out on my job, drove across the Delta
I had to be close to you
Rolled the windows down, singin' to Lucinda
I had to be close to you
I didn't wanna hear what my mama would say
I didn't care if I was pissin' my money away
All I knew
I had to be close to you
I left my phone in a truck stop diner
I had to be close to you
I honked my horn at the Tennessee border
I had to be close to you
Knocked on your door and kissed your mouth
I squeezed you tight and I said it out loud
If one thing's for certain
I had to be close to you
Close to you
All the dead ends I've been down so long
Close to you
Nowhere else that I belong
Went down to the pub to buy a couple rounds
I had to be close to you
We shot some darts while the rain came down
I had to be close to you
We talked about Heaven and we talked about Hell
We played the jukebox while democracy fell
Waltzed across the floor
I had to be close to you
We paid our tab and stumbled outside
I had to be close to you
Your leather jacket was soaking wet
I had to be close to you
No one else could understand
How you pull me in with your calloused hands
And the way it feels
I had to be close to you
Close to you
All the dead ends I've been down so long
Close to you
Nowhere else that I belong
Walked out on my job, drove across the Delta
I had to be close to you
