What I Almost Was (Acoustic / Live At Amalie Arena, Tampa, FL / May 4, 2017) - Eric Church (艾瑞克·乔治)[00:00:00]
Written by:Eric Church/Michael P. Heeney/Casey Beathard[00:00:03]
It was my senior year[00:00:19]
I just turned eighteen[00:00:21]
I was a Friday night hero with division one dreams[00:00:23]
I had an offer on the table[00:00:28]
A four year ride[00:00:30]
'Til that fourth and two and twenty four dive[00:00:33]
I left on a stretcher wound up on a crutch[00:00:37]
Walked on that next summer[00:00:42]
Wound up getting cut[00:00:44]
I flipped off that coach left that school in the dust[00:00:47]
For letting my dreams go bust[00:00:51]
But I thank God I ain't what I almost was[00:00:56]
Yea I moved on back home[00:01:10]
And came awful close to being some son-in-law to some CEO[00:01:13]
Coulda been a corner office country club suit and tie man[00:01:19]
Answerin' to no one but her and him[00:01:24]
I ran out on his money ran out on her love[00:01:29]
At four in the morning I loaded my truck[00:01:34]
I left my home town in a big cloud of dust[00:01:38]
I just had to follow my gut[00:01:43]
And I thank God I ain't what I almost was[00:01:48]
Guitar town I bought this old Epiphone[00:02:24]
Started stringin' chords and words into songs[00:02:32]
I've been putting in time on Sixteenth Avenue[00:02:41]
Pouring out my heart for tips on a stool[00:02:46]
I ain't making a killing but then there's those nights[00:02:51]
When the song comes together and hits 'em just right[00:02:55]
The crowds on their feet cause they can't get enough[00:03:00]
Of this music I make and I love[00:03:04]
And I thank God I ain't yea I thank God I ain't[00:03:09]
Yea I thank God I ain't what I almost was[00:03:19]
