What I Almost Was[00:00:01]
It was my senior year[00:00:21]
I just turned eighteen[00:00:23]
I was a Friday night hero with division one dreams[00:00:25]
I had an offer on the table[00:00:30]
A four year ride[00:00:32]
'Til that fourth and two and twenty four dive[00:00:34]
I left on a stretcher wound up on a crutch[00:00:38]
Walked on that next summer[00:00:43]
Wound up getting cut[00:00:45]
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[00:01:08]
And came awful close to being some son-in-law to some CEO[00:01:10]
Coulda been a corner office country club suit and tie man[00:01:16]
Answerin' to no one but her and him[00:01:21]
I ran out on his money ran out on her love[00:01:25]
At four in the morning I loaded my truck[00:01:30]
I left my home town in a big cloud of dust[00:01:34]
I just had to follow my gut[00:01:38]
And I thank God I ain't what I almost was[00:01:43]
In guitar town I bought this old Epiphone[00:02:07]
Started stringin' chords and words into songs[00:02:15]
I've been putting in time on Sixteenth Avenue[00:02:23]
Pouring out my heart for tips on a stool[00:02:28]
I ain't making a killing but then there's those nights[00:02:32]
When the song comes together and hits 'em just right[00:02:36]
The crowds on their feet cause they can't get enough[00:02:40]
Of this music I make and I love[00:02:45]
And I thank God I ain't yea I thank God I ain't [00:02:49]
Yea man I thank God I ain't what I almost was[00:02:58]
