Close The Door
Johnny Rodriguez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can I take your love for truth?
There comes a time in ev'ry man's life
When he needs a little proof.
So show me something different. Something I ain't never seen before.
This time instead of gettin' up and goin' home to him;
Just Get Up And Close The Door.
Say you won't regret morning light,
Then I'll believe the words of love you've said to me before, if you'll
Just Get Up And Close The Door.
This time instead of getting up and goin' home to him,
Just Get Up And Close The Door.

Amazing voice, amazing singer!!!
He's right up there with the best of them all. Johnny Rodriguez and I ran alot of interstates together when I was running large cars coast to coast. That's when country was country, not this crap we hear today.
