Closest I've Ever Been
Keith Anderson

Closest I've ever been

To meetin' Jesus was when

Me and Bobby Pinson put up our pink slips

On Blue Hole Road

My needle showin' ninety

I flew right by him

Lighting fast 'til I had a bad goodyear blow

That ol' Chevy rolled and rolled and I know

Heaven must've heard the words

Beneath my breath

And I thank God, I ain't there yet

That's the closest I've ever been

To never seein' my momma again

Found out quick how precious life is

Drive my new truck a little slower than I did

That's the smallest I've ever felt

That's the furthest I've ever fell

Not too far to find out how life ends

That's the closest I've ever been

Closest I've ever been

To bein' the devil's friend was when

Shelly gave in to me

And him down by the river

I gave her my heart and my jacket

Still ain't got 'em back yet

She left me hurtin' and searchin'

For love or liquor or whatever

Quicker than I could say sin

I slipped further in, than I was plannin'

I never shook the devil's hand

But I drank his whiskey and I loved his women

That's the closest I've ever been

To tellin' God to hell with Him

Goin' down in flames, and layin' the blame

Why would He ever let her walk away

That's the smallest I've ever felt

That's the furthest I've ever fell

But not too far for God to forgive

And I thank God, that's the closest I've ever been

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

Another way to be the best man I can

And I'm the closest I've ever been

Closest I've ever been, closest I've ever been
