I Came So Close to Living Alone

(Jimmy Dickens - Kent Hunt)



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 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...
