Too Close To Comfort - Darrell Scott

In a bar, in a hotel, in Atlanta, downtown

He’s a long way from home and he’s pourin' 'em down

There’s a lady in waiting, a warm midnight friend

Oh, but it’s that sweet southern comfort again

It’s cool conversation, it’s courage in a glass

He don’t tell her he’s married and she don’t even ask

There’s just living for the moment, let the good times begin

He got too close to comfort again

Sweet southern comfort crossing the line

Lying with strangers one more last time

Cheating is a game where nobody wins

He got too close to comfort again

With the ring on his finger he holds the door wide

And there’s no hesitating as they both step inside

To lay down an impression that’s sweeter than sin

Oh, but it’s that sweet, sweet southern comfort again

And he looks in the mirror in the cold morning light

And he stares at a young man with age in his eyes

He started this dance but the song has no end

He got too close to comfort again

Sweet southern comfort and crossing the line

Lying with strangers one more last time

She is a game where nobody wins

No he got too close to comfort again
