lyrics

I took my leave and my severance pay I didn’t plead, I didn’t feel ashamed I didn’t feel ashamed I took my leave and my severance pay
I said I’m only earning minimum wage I coulda, shoulda, woulda act my age I couldn’t act my age Now I’m only earning minimum wage

Close enough Close enough Close enough for that rock ‘n roll now

I’m washing dishes in a dirty old scene I’m hangin’ on to that old rock ‘n roll dream That old rock ‘n roll dream Washing dishes in a dirty old scene
Now I’m standing with a cap in my hand C’mon sugar throw some salt in this pan Throw some salt in this pan Just a little for a rock n’ roll man

Close enough Close enough Close enough for that rock ‘n roll now

Got swollen knuckles and a line of debt A pound of troubles and an inch of sweat I got an inch of sweat Swollen knuckles and a line of debt
I said I’m only earning minimum wage C’mon sugar tear a leaf from my page Tear a leaf from my page I said I’m only earning minimum wage

Close enough Close enough Close enough for that rock ‘n roll now

The Wedded Bliss is a labour of love for Randall Blair, Matt Nightingale and Lachlan Coventry.

They are a band that that will have you tapping your toes, singing along to their catchy country swing tunes.
