Close Don't Count for Nothin'
Paul Eason
Intro: Em D A G D
Verse:
[A]He's been workin' for two years down the street a[G]t HEB [D]
[A]Just so he can pay his rent and take clas[G]ses at ACC [D]
Now he a[G]in't old but he's done more livin' than his [D]twenty years might suggest
[A]He's done some drinkin' in his lifetime but he ai[G]n't even legal yet [D]
Chorus:
And it's a lo[Em]ng way to Mexico [D]
And there ain't no[Em]thing to do around here[G]
I guess close [Bm]don't count for nothin' [D]
But no o[A]ne around here seems to care [G] [D]
Verse:
He's friends with the sheriff's daughter, you know ol' sheriff thinks he's alright
He'll even buy him beer and give him advice on his love life
But on a Monday night with nothing to do man a six pack sure sounds nice
But there ain't no way it's gonna happen today 'cause the timing just ain't right
Chorus
Verse:
He's just got a week left 'till he makes twenty one
Said he gave up drinkin' 'till then said the risk outweighs the fun
Well this I had to see with my own eyes to doubt no more
Don't you know the very next day I saw him passed out on the floor
Chorus
