Patty Loveless - Keep Your Distance lyrics

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 fooling 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, 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 sweeping 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

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

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

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

Oh, keep your distance (keep your distance)
