Almost
Gratitude in Almost: A Journey Through Life's Near Misses
Lyrics
When I got trucked on that old field, I almost quit that team
Encountered difficulties on the sports field but didn't give up on the team.
I almost gave up guitar 'cause it hurt to play those strings
Contemplated quitting playing the guitar due to the pain but persisted.
When everybody told me, "No, man", I 'bout gave up on my dream
Faced discouragement but didn't give up on pursuing personal dreams.
Almost let it go
Nearly let go of something important but didn't.
I almost broke my leg riding dirt bike with no fear
Almost suffered a serious injury while riding a dirt bike recklessly.
I almost lost my best friend over some girl freshman year
Risked losing a close friendship over a romantic relationship in freshman year.
I almost lost my license driving home after two beers
Almost faced consequences for driving under the influence.
Almost, Lord knows
Acknowledges the 'almost' situations with a sense of divine intervention.
Oh, but when I look back now
Reflecting on past experiences.
Thank God for the almost
Expresses gratitude for the 'almost' situations.
Thank God for the so close
Appreciates the moments that were close to success but didn't quite make it.
Thank God for the night I came within an inch of that fence post
Specifically thankful for narrowly avoiding a potential accident with a fence post.
For the doors that opened
Grateful for opportunities that presented themselves.
For ones that slam closed
Recognizes the value in situations that didn't go as planned.
Thank God for the girls I thought I'd marry, but left me heartbroke
Acknowledges the heartbreak from relationships that didn't work out.
Thank God for the highs
Gratitude for the positive experiences in life.
Thank God for the lows
Appreciates the lessons learned from challenging times.
Thank God for the almost
Reiterates thankfulness for the 'almost' situations.
I almost got that tattoo on my back that said, "Delta Chi"
Almost got a tattoo representing a fraternity but reconsidered.
Almost didn't visit granddad a week before he died
Nearly missed the opportunity to visit granddad before his passing.
I almost didn't kiss that girl, turned out to be my wife
Almost didn't pursue a romantic relationship that turned out to be significant.
Guess someone else had something else in mind
Acknowledges that fate had different plans in mind.
Thank God for the almost
Reiterates gratitude for the 'almost' situations.
Thank God for the so close
Thankful for situations that were close to success but didn't quite make it.
Thank God for the kick that came within an inch of that goalpost
Expresses gratitude for narrowly missing a potential setback related to a goalpost.
For the doors that opened
Appreciates both opportunities and setbacks.
For ones that slam closed
Recognizes the value in situations that didn't go as planned.
Thank God for the girls I thought I'd marry, but left me heartbroke
Acknowledges heartbreak from relationships that didn't work out.
Thank God for the highs

Thank God for the almost
Reiterates thankfulness for the 'almost' situations.
Thank God for the almost

Thank God for the right, not left, I took when I came to them crossroads
Grateful for making the right decisions at crucial moments.
For the doors that opened
Appreciates both opportunities and setbacks.
For ones that slam closed
Recognizes the value in situations that didn't go as planned.
Yeah, without 'em, where would I be? Man, I don't know
Reflects on the uncertainty of life and the impact of pivotal moments.
