Close To You Lyrics
I got to get away man
Got to clear my mind, mind, mind
Out of this mundane, god-forsaken 9-5, wasting my time
I'm gonna tell the boss man
I'm never coming back, back, back
I'm just a one way crazy locomotive jumpin' off of my tracks
Coz I'm a jacked-up, souped up, cut down, thrown around, discarded like a cigarette butt
I'm just a no good excuse for a man, yes you know I've got to pick myself right out of this rutt
But, I wanna be close to you
I wanna be close to you
I wanna be close to you
I wanna be close to you.
I don't know why we've ever been born
The life we live it is made for more
All this life's just making me sore
Oh don't worry, don't worry don't worry.
Got to get away man,
This moment it wont last, last, last
I got chain up grumpy in my head and it's kicking my ass (yeah)
I'm moving like a dog yeeah
I'm looking for my bone, bone, bone
I got to high-jack my body just to make it my own, my own, my own, my own
Because I'm a jacked-up, souped up, cut down, thrown around, discarded like a cigarette butt
I'm just a no good excuse for a man, yes you know I've got to pick myself right out of this rutt
But, I wanna be close to you
I wanna be close to you
I wanna be close to you
I wanna be close to you.
I don't know why we've ever been born
The life we live it is made for more
All this life's just making me sore
Oh don't worry, don't worry don't worry.
I don't know why we've ever been born
The life we live it is made for more
All this life's just making me sore
Oh don't worry, don't worry don't worry now, don't worry now, don't worry.
Got to clear my mind, mind, mind
Out of this mundane, god-forsaken 9-5, wasting my time
I'm never coming back, back, back
I'm just a one way crazy locomotive jumpin' off of my tracks
I'm just a no good excuse for a man, yes you know I've got to pick myself right out of this rutt
But, I wanna be close to you
I wanna be close to you
I wanna be close to you
I wanna be close to you.
The life we live it is made for more
All this life's just making me sore
Oh don't worry, don't worry don't worry.
This moment it wont last, last, last
I got chain up grumpy in my head and it's kicking my ass (yeah)
I'm looking for my bone, bone, bone
I got to high-jack my body just to make it my own, my own, my own, my own
I'm just a no good excuse for a man, yes you know I've got to pick myself right out of this rutt
But, I wanna be close to you
I wanna be close to you
I wanna be close to you
I wanna be close to you.
The life we live it is made for more
All this life's just making me sore
Oh don't worry, don't worry don't worry.
The life we live it is made for more
All this life's just making me sore
Oh don't worry, don't worry don't worry now, don't worry now, don't worry.

I can't believe there are NO comments! The John Butler Trio have done it again :DD Amazing song and the video is trippy
I think it's pretty clear what he is singing, the f*cked up 9 to 5 working job some people tend to have and want to escape from it and wanting a change in life so he tells his boss I quit so he can be with the people who he dearly loves the most
Such a great song, John Butler never lets me down.
