Introduction:
Toby Keith’s “Just Get Up and Close the Door” is a cover of Johnny Rodriguez’s 1976 song of the same name. Keith’s version was recorded for his 2021 album “Toby Keith’s Furniture Store Guitar Sessions.”
The song was recorded in a unique setting: a furniture store. Keith had been in Mexico when he forgot his guitar, so he stopped by a local furniture store and picked up an old guitar to record the song. The stripped-down, acoustic arrangement highlights Keith’s vocals and the raw emotion of the song.
“Just Get Up and Close the Door” is a classic country song about a brokenhearted man who is trying to move on from a failed relationship. The lyrics are simple and straightforward, but they convey a powerful message about the pain of heartbreak and the importance of letting go.
Keith’s version of the song has been well-received by fans and critics alike. It is a reminder of his talent as a singer and songwriter, and it is a testament to the enduring power of country music.

Lyrics:
“Just Get Up And Close The Door”
There comes a time in every woman’s life when she needs a little proof
So show me something different something I ain’t never seen before
This time instead of gettin’ up and goin’ home to her just get up and close the door
Just get up and close the door
And say you’ll stay with me tonight say you won’t regret the morning light
Then I’ll believe the words of love you’ve said to me before
If you’ll just get up and close the door
This time instead of gettin’ up and goin’ home to her just get up and close the door
