Close Don't Count For Nothing

Em D A G D A G D He's been workin' for two years down the street at HEB A G D Just so he can pay his rent and take classes at ACC G D Now he ain't old but he's done more livin' than his twenty years might suggest A G D He's done some drinkin' in his lifetime but he ain't even legal yet Em D And it's a long way to Mexico Em G And there ain't nothing to do around here Bm D I guess close don't count for nothin' A G D But no one around here seems to care He's friends with the sheriff's daughter, you know ol' sheriff thinks he's alright He'll even buy him beer and give him advice on his love life But on a Monday night with nothing to do man a six pack sure sounds nice But there ain't no way it's gonna happen today 'cause the timing just ain't right He's just got a week left 'till he makes twenty one Said he gave up drinkin' 'till then said the risk outweighs the fun Well this I had to see with my own eyes to doubt no more Don't you know the very next day I saw him passed out on the floor
