What I Almost Was Lyrics - Sinners Like Me - Eric Church

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 

And 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

Yeah, 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 mornin' 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 

Guitar town, I bought this old Epi-phone 

Started stringin' chords and words into songs 

I've been puttin' in time on Sixteenth Avenue 

Pourin' out my heart for tips on a stool

I ain't makin' a killin' but then there's those nights 

When the song comes together and hits them 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, yeah, I thank God I ain't 

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