    What I Almost Was
    .

    It was my senior year
    I just turned eighteen

    I was a Friday night hero, with division one dreams

    I had an offer on the table
    A four year ride

    'Til that fourth and two and twenty four dive

    I left on a stretcher, wound up on a crutch

    Walked on that next summer
    Wound up getting cut

    I flipped off that coach, left that school in the dust

    For letting my dreams go bust

    But I thank God I ain't what I almost was
    .

    Yea, I moved on back home

    And came awful close to being some son-in-law to some CEO

    Coulda been a corner office, country club, suit and tie man

    Answerin' to no one, but her and him

    I ran out on his money, ran out on her love

    At four in the morning I loaded my truck

    I left my home town in a big cloud of dust

    I just had to follow my gut

    And I thank God I ain't what I almost was
    .

    In guitar town I bought this old Epiphone

    Started stringin' chords and words into songs

    I've been putting in time on Sixteenth Avenue

    Pouring out my heart for tips on a stool

    I ain't making a killing, but then there's those nights

    When the song comes together and hits 'em just right

    The crowds on their feet cause they can't get enough

    Of this music I make and I love

    And I thank God I ain't, yea I thank God I ain't,

    Yea man I thank God I ain't, what I almost was
