Came The Closest

I cut my hair off, I wore a tie

Woke up at 7:00, came home at 5:00 for a while

I traded whiskey for Miller Lite

And I know your mama calls me polite

Mr. Right

Aw, but that ain't right

'Cause I always gotta know what's behind the other door

I'm never gonna be that straight-laced, Sunday-morning man you were looking for

Nobody's ever tied me down in a clapboard house

With some kids and a bed of roses

But you came the closest

We never married 'cause I never asked

I left the diamond under the glass

Someday you'll be glad

'Cause you'll find somebody who shaves every day

When your dad comes around, he'll know what to say

I just ain't that way, I just ain't that way

'Cause I always gotta know what's behind the other door

I'm never gonna be that straight-laced, Sunday-morning man you were looking for

Nobody's ever tied me down in clapboard house

With some kids and a bed of roses

But you came the closest

Moving on is the only thing I know how to do

But if I could've stood still, then I would have stood still with you

But I always gotta know what's behind the other door

I'm never gonna be that straight-laced, Sunday-morning man you were looking for

Nobody's ever tied me down in clapboard house

With some kids and a bed of roses

But you came the closest

You came the closest
