I’ve Come Awful Close

Ann J. Morton

[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
