I've Come Awful Close

I've Come Awful Close - The Hit Crew

Well never once have

I cheated on my baby

I'm a traveling man

I go from coast to coast

Everywhere from San Diego to New York City

I never done you wrong

But I've come awful close

Well I met a little peach

When I was in Columbus Georgia

Sitting in the booth next to mine

In a little cafe

All that I did was just buy

Her a cup of coffee

I had a heck of a time

But I pulled myself away

I've come awful close nearly almost

I got right next to it

But I couldn't do it

Heaven knows

I've come awful close

Well I pulled into an all night

Stop in Albuquerque

Where a cute little waitress

Brought me my ham and rye

She winkled and said

I get off at seven thirty

Well I might have stayed

But I told that gal goodbye

So honey don't you worry about your daddy

Just scramble my eggs

And don't you burn my toast

I'm rolling now

I should make it home by Friday

Lots of guys would have done it

But I've just come close

I've come awful close nearly almost

I got right next to it

But I couldn't do it

Heaven knows

I've come awful close
