Merle Haggard
I Came So Close to Living Alone
I came close, so close to failure
I came close to living alone
I know the kids still love me and their mama
But I came so close to losing my home

I felt small enough to drown in each teardrop
But big enough to admit I was wrong
When I think of what I've done, a chill runs through me
'Cause I came so close to losing my home

I felt small enough to drown in each teardrop
But big enough to admit I was wrong
When I think of what I've done, a chill runs through me
'Cause I came so close to losing my home
I came so close to losing my home
