Lyrics
Vocal by Dusty Drake
NOWHERE CLOSE TO YOU
C 2004 Opfer, ASCAP/King, BMI
I was sittin' in a tavern
Down by the Rio Grande
Drinking down tequila
Listenin' to the band
Thinkin' 'bout some silly thing
That made us disagree
When a South Texas beauty
Made a move on me
She was a ten and that's
On a scale of one to eight
With looks so good
I did a double take
Then thought of all the trouble
I could get myself into
She might have been a ten
But that's nowhere close to you
Ah, she leaned right up against me
With a come-on in her eyes
Said where've you been hidin'
Cowboy dance with me tonight
And maybe for a second
I thought what harm would it do
But the image of you darlin'
Kept me anchored to that stool
Chorus
Bridge:
Baby, you got me hooked
On more than your good looks
When you add it all up
I'm totally in love:
Chorus:
She was a just ten
On a scale of one to eight
But, We've got a history
A whole lot more at stake
Thought makin’ up would be
The right thing to do
So I left her in Laredo
‘Cause that's nowhere close to you
