Catchy Polkas - Closer to the Truth (Upbeat Polka Dance)

*Closer to the Truth* is an upbeat polka dance song with a folk storytelling heart. A lively journey through growing up, making mistakes, finding your place, and learning to see life for what it really is. From muddy roads and oversized boots to first crushes, slammed doors, crooked turns and new beginnings — sometimes the only way to find the truth is to get a little closer. With its energetic polka rhythm, folk-inspired storytelling and feel-good dance energy, *Closer to the Truth* is a song about curiosity, growing up and choosing your own path. 🎵 Lyrics: I wore my cousin’s boots Too big for my feet Chased the chickens round On the mud road street Mama laughed and said You’ll learn by and by I asked the old men why They just tipped their rye So I took one step Then I took two If I’m gonna know I’ve got to go through Get closer, closer Let me see it plain Get closer, closer Let me know my name I want the dirt, the shine The laugh and the bruise Get closer, closer That’s how I’ll choose School bell in my ears Like a tin plate ring Hands full of half-known things Trying not to sing First crush on the corner Got me red in the face Thought the world was a trick Till I found my place Every crooked turn Every slammed door Made a little room For what I’m for Get closer, closer Let me see it plain Get closer, closer Let me know my name I want the dirt, the shine The laugh and the bruise Get closer, closer That’s how I’ll choose Now I’m tall enough To reach the shelf Still I’m looking up Past my younger self If the map goes blank If the road gets rough I’ll keep moving in That’s close enough Get closer, closer Let me see it plain Get closer, closer Let me know my name I want the dirt, the shine The laugh and the bruise Get closer, closer That’s how I’ll choose Closer to the fire Closer to the lake Closer to the truth Growing up awake 🔔 Subscribe to Catchy Polkas for more original polka music: ‪ ‪@CatchyPolkas‬ #PolkaDance #FolkMusic #DanceMusic #CloserToTheTruth #Polka #FolkDance #ModernPolka #UpbeatFolk #StorytellingSong #CountryFolk #FeelGoodMusic #NewMusic
