I've Come Awful Close

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
Sittin' in the booth next to mine in a little cafe
All 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
A cute little waitress brought me my ham and rye
She winked 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 'bout your daddy
Just scramble my eggs and don't you burn my toast
I'm rollin' now, should make it home by Friday
Lots of guys would've done it, but I 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

Yeah, I come close, honey
But I'm rollin' on in home, so put on that fresh pot of coffee
Tell you what, go on and get a steak out of the freezer
And we'll open up a bottle of that good Napa Valley wine
Have ourselves a good time
Your daddy's rollin' on in home, baby
Come awful close, but I never done you wrong
You know that, honey
