[00:01.56] | What I Almost Was |
[00:02.55] | . |
[00:02.80] | |
[00:21.74] | It was my senior year |
[00:23.55] | I just turned eighteen |
[00:24.74] | |
[00:25.61] | I was a Friday night hero, with division one dreams |
[00:29.54] | |
[00:30.23] | I had an offer on the table |
[00:32.16] | A four year ride |
[00:33.47] | |
[00:34.35] | 'Til that fourth and two and twenty four dive |
[00:37.78] | |
[00:38.96] | I left on a stretcher, wound up on a crutch |
[00:42.33] | |
[00:43.15] | Walked on that next summer |
[00:45.08] | Wound up getting cut |
[00:46.64] | |
[00:47.33] | I flipped off that coach, left that school in the dust |
[00:51.01] | |
[00:51.69] | For letting my dreams go bust |
[00:54.25] | |
[00:56.00] | But I thank God I ain't what I almost was |
[01:00.74] | . |
[01:01.30] | |
[01:08.79] | Yea, I moved on back home |
[01:10.23] | |
[01:10.97] | And came awful close to being some son-in-law to some CEO |
[01:16.27] | |
[01:16.85] | Coulda been a corner office, country club, suit and tie man |
[01:20.84] | |
[01:21.61] | Answerin' to no one, but her and him |
[01:25.42] | |
[01:25.98] | I ran out on his money, ran out on her love |
[01:29.60] | |
[01:30.23] | At four in the morning I loaded my truck |
[01:33.91] | |
[01:34.59] | I left my home town in a big cloud of dust |
[01:38.28] | |
[01:38.90] | I just had to follow my gut |
[01:41.83] | |
[01:43.63] | And I thank God I ain't what I almost was |
[01:48.68] | . |
[01:48.99] | |
[02:07.68] | In guitar town I bought this old Epiphone |
[02:10.62] | |
[02:15.71] | Started stringin' chords and words into songs |
[02:19.14] | |
[02:23.88] | I've been putting in time on Sixteenth Avenue |
[02:26.81] | |
[02:28.19] | Pouring out my heart for tips on a stool |
[02:31.74] | |
[02:32.37] | I ain't making a killing, but then there's those nights |
[02:36.24] | |
[02:36.76] | When the song comes together and hits 'em just right |
[02:40.32] | |
[02:40.92] | The crowds on their feet cause they can't get enough |
[02:44.16] | |
[02:45.22] | Of this music I make and I love |
[02:48.40] | |
[02:49.55] | And I thank God I ain't, yea I thank God I ain't, |
[02:55.67] | |
[02:58.58] | Yea man I thank God I ain't, what I almost was |
