Keep Your Distance - Patty Loveless

Oh, if I cross your path again

Who knows where or who knows when

On some mountain without number

On some highway without end

Don’t grasp my hand and say

'Fate has brought you here today'

Oh, fate is only foolin' with us, friend

Keep your distance

Keep your distance

Oh, when I feel you close to me

What can I do but fall

Keep your distance

Keep your distance

Oh, with us it must be all or none at all

(Oh, with us it must be all or none at all)

Oh, it’s a desperate game we play

Throw our souls, our lives, away

On wounds that can’t be mended

And debts that can’t be paid

Oh, I played, and I got stung

Now I’m biting back my tongue

And sweepin' out the footprints where I strayed

Keep your distance

Keep your distance

Oh, when I feel you close to me

What can I do but fall

Keep your distance

Keep your distance

Keep your distance (keep your distance, keep your distance)

Oh, keep your distance (keep your distance)
