I’ve Come Awful Close

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well never once have I cheated on my baby I'm a traveling man I go from coast to coast Now everywhere from San Diego to New York City I never done you wrong but I've come awful close [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] I've come awful close nearly almost I got right next to it but I couldn't do it Heavеn knows I've come awful close [Verse 3] Wеll I pulled into an all night stop in Albuquerque 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] 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
