CLOSER EVERY DAY
(Words and Music by Patrick Simmons)
The Doobie Brothers


I just looked in the mirror. Was that me? 
I'm older now than I used to be. 
The sky above me, Lord, it's turnin' red. 
There's a hard rain fallin' 'round my head. 

Oh Lord, fallin' round my head. 
Oh Lord, fallin' round my head. 
Oh Lord, fallin' round my head. 
Oh Lord, fallin' round my head. 

The road I'm standin' on, it twists and turns. 
The soles of my feet, Lord, they're 'bout to burn. 
The reaper beckons, and he points the way. 
Oh Lord, I'm gettin' closer everyday. 

Oh Lord, closer every day. 
Oh Lord, closer every day. 
Oh Lord, closer every day. 
Oh Lord, closer every day. 

The road I'm standin' on, it twists and turns.

The reaper beckons, and he points the way. 
Oh Lord, I'm gettin' closer everyday. 

Oh Lord, closer every day. 
Oh Lord, closer every day. 
Oh Lord, closer every day. 
Oh Lord, closer every day.
