《What I Almost Was》歌词

[00:00:01] What I Almost Was

[00:00:21] It was my senior year

[00:00:23] I just turned eighteen

[00:00:25] I was a Friday night hero with division one dreams

[00:00:30] I had an offer on the table

[00:00:32] A four year ride

[00:00:34] 'Til that fourth and two and twenty four dive

[00:00:38] I left on a stretcher wound up on a crutch

[00:00:43] Walked on that next summer

[00:00:45] Wound up getting cut

[00:00:47] I flipped off that coach left that school in the dust

[00:00:51] For letting my dreams go bust

[00:00:56] But I thank God I ain't what I almost was

[00:01:08] Yea I moved on back home

[00:01:10] And came awful close to being some son-in-law to some CEO

[00:01:16] Coulda been a corner office country club suit and tie man

[00:01:21] Answerin' to no one but her and him

[00:01:25] I ran out on his money ran out on her love

[00:01:30] 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

[00:02:07] In guitar town I bought this old Epiphone

[00:02:15] Started stringin' chords and words into songs

[00:02:23] I've been putting in time on Sixteenth Avenue

[00:02:28] Pouring out my heart for tips on a stool

[00:02:32] I ain't making a killing but then there's those nights

[00:02:36] When the song comes together and hits 'em just right

[00:02:40] The crowds on their feet cause they can't get enough

[00:02:45] Of this music I make and I love

[00:02:49] And I thank God I ain't yea I thank God I ain't

[00:02:58] Yea man I thank God I ain't what I almost was
