lyrics

I caught her eye when she walked through the door
I asked her to dance on that hardwood floor
Put a dollar in the jukebox and played a slow song by Dwight.
The neon light made her eyes shine
Had a couple of whiskeys and a bottle of wine
We left that honky tonk, and I walked her home

I was the closest one at closing time
We had the time of our lives
Her husband and her had just had a fight
And I was just the closest one at closing time.

I was drinking a beer on my favourite stool
When she drifted again into that room
The girl I’d fallen in love with just the night before
As she two stepped to me ‘cross that sawdust
Her boyfriend followed her through that door
She took a dollar from his pocket and played a slow song by Dwight

I was the closest one at closing time
I watched them dancing side by side
And I’m so lonesome I could cry
And I was just the closest one at closing time.

Before they turned out that neon sign
I turned to the closest girl by my side
I put a dollar in the jukebox and played some Patsy Cline
As we slowed danced together, I saw my future in her eyes

She was the closest one at closing time
We stayed up all night to watch the sun rise
It turned out to be the best night of my life
And she was the closest one at closing time.

She was the closest one at closing time
She’s the best damn thing in my life
We were side by side when we walked down the aisle
And she was the closest one at closing time.

She was the closest one at closing time
She’s the best damn thing in my life
I tell the story to our kids about that night
