Close calls, close calls
I will survive
Brick walls, big balls
Lucky just to be alive
I fought Buford Pusser in a honky-tonk joint

He whipped my ass, that´s beside the point
Close calls, close calls
Lucky just to be alive

Been in lots of tight spots
So many that I can´t explain
Big shots, bon mots
I don´t always use my brain
Scuba divin´ Pensacola
Hundred twenty feet down
I´m so glad Jack buddy-breathed me
Or I guess I would have drowned
Close calls, close calls
I don´t always use my brain

Life can be a pickle
Or a stalk of sugar cane
One day you´re wrestlin´ ´gators

Next day you´re singing "Never Been to Spain"
In Spain in Spanish!

Close calls, close calls
I will survive
Brick walls, big balls
Lucky just to be alive
I fought Buford Pusser in a honky-tonk joint
He beat my ass, that´s beside the point
Close calls, close calls
Lucky just to be alive
Close calls, close calls
I will survive
Close calls, close calls
Lucky just to be alive
