Almost

When I got trucked on that old field, I almost quit that team

I almost gave up guitar 'cause it hurt to play those strings

When everybody told me no, man, I ’bout gave up on my dream

I almost let it go

I almost broke my leg riding dirt bike with no fear

I almost lost my best friend over some girl freshman year

I almost lost my license driving home after two beers

Almost, Lord knows

Oh, but when I look back now

Thank God for the almost, thank God for the so close

Thank God for the night I came within an inch of that fence post

For the doors that open for ones that slam close

Thank God for the girls I thought I'd marry, but left me heartbroke

Thank God for the highs, thank God for the lows

Thank God for the almost

I almost got that tattoo on my back that said "Delta Chi"

Almost didn't visit Granddad a week before he died

I almost didn’t kiss that girl, turned out to be my wife

Guess someone else had something else in mind

Thank God for the almost, thank God for the so close

Thank God for the kick that came within an inch of that goal post

Front doors that open for ones that slam close

Thank God for the girls I thought I'd marry, but left me heartbroke

Thank God for the highs, thank God for the lows

Thank God for the almost

Thank God for the almost, thank God for the so close

Thank God for the right, not left, I took when I came to them crossroads

For the doors that open for ones that slam close

Yeah, without 'em, where would I be? Man, I don't know

Thank God for the highs, thank God for the lows

Thank God for the almost

Oh, Thank God for the almost
