Have you seen

The ladies passing by

They don't seem to notice

That I'm lonesome and I cry

But soon they'll listen

I can tell you, tell you why

Gonna make a record

Gonna go sky high



I just wanna be closer to you

I just wanna see if you can be moved

I don't wanna be a fool for you

Or be alone



Going to the city

All the hustlers in the street

Can't you imagine where

This country boy's head might be

Bright lights are shining

I can see in front of me

At night clockwork deception

Won't save or set us free



I just wanna be closer to you

I just wanna see if you can be moved

I don't wanna be a fool for you

Or be alone



Gonna tour the country

Gonna play for all my friends

Such a positive action

I've got energy to lend

So come on down, we're cookin'

Let the rhythm get you high

Bring all the ladies

Tell them why, why, why



I just wanna be closer to you

I just wanna see if you can be moved

I don't wanna be a fool for you

Or be alone
