Keith Anderson - Closest I've Ever Been lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Closest I've ever been to meetin' Jesus was when<br>

Me and Bobby Pinson put up our pink slips on Blue Hole Road<br>

My needle showin' ninety, I flew right by him<br>

Lighting fast 'til I had a bad Goodyear blow<br>

That ol' Chevy rolled and rolled and I know<br>

Heaven must've heart the words beneath my breath and I<br>

Thank God I ain't there yet<br>

<br>

<i>[Chorus:]</i><br>

That's the closest I've ever been<br>

To never seein' my momma again<br>

Found out quick how precious life is<br>

Drive my new truck a little slower than I did<br>

That's the smallest I've ever felt<br>

That's the furthest I've ever fell<br>

Not too far to find out how life ends<br>

That's the closest I've ever been<br>

<br>

Closest I've ever been to bein' the devil's friend was when<br>

Shelly gave in to me and him down by the river<br>

I gave her my heart and my jacket, still ain't got 'em back yet<br>

She left me hurtin' and searchin' for love or liquor or whatever<br>

Quicker than I could say sin I slipped further in than I was plannin'<br>

I never shook the devil's hand, but I drank his whiskey and I loved his women<br>

<br>

<i>[2nd Chorus:]</i><br>

That's the closest I've ever been<br>

To tellin' God to hell with Him<br>

Goin' down in flames, and layin' the blame<br>

Why would He ever let her walk away<br>

That's the smallest I've ever felt<br>

That's the furthest I've ever fell<br>

But not too far for God to forgive<br>

And I thank God that's the closest I've ever been<br>

Got it all behind me and every day I'm findin'<br>

Another way to be the best man I can<br>

And I'm the closest I've ever been<br>

Closest I've ever been, closest I've ever been<br>

<BR><BR>
