I came close so close to failure I came close to losing my home
I know the kids still love me and their mommy but I came so close to living alone
I felt small enough to drown in each teardrop but big enough to admit I was wrong
Now I'm trying hard to be the man I oughta be but I came so close to living alone
I didn't know just how much they meant to me
I guess sometimes a man must be shown
When I think of what I done a chill goes through me I came so close to living alone
I felt small enough... [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/h/hank_locklin/i_came_so_close_to_living_alone.html ]
