Almost Got It Right (Americana Drift Mix)

[Verse 1] Thought I'd be gone by twenty-two Out of this town Out of this view Had a half-tank dream and a secondhand Ford Maps on the dash Heart on the floor Mama said “Boy It takes some time” I just laughed Pushed past that sign Chased every horizon I could find Always two steps back One step behind [Chorus] I keep reaching for that high Just out of my hands Like a tail light fading on an old two-lane Every time I think I’m there It slips out of frame But I’m learning how to love the in-between All these almosts in my life Yeah I almost lost it Almost quit But I almost got it right (oh) I almost got it right [Verse 2] Fell hard for a girl in June Talked big house Baby names too soon She said “You’re sweet But you still got roads to run” Left me there talking to the setting sun Thought that kind of hurt would be the end Turns out it made me my own best friend Now I look back Raise a quiet beer To every wrong turn that brought me here [Chorus] I keep reaching for that high Just out of my hands Like a tail light fading on an old two-lane Every time I think I’m there It slips out of frame But I’m learning how to love the in-between All these almosts in my life Yeah I almost lost it Almost quit But I almost got it right (hey) I almost got it right [Bridge] Maybe that star I’ve chased for years Ain’t meant to land Just lead me here If the story ends some ordinary night I’ll smile and say I spent my time Chasing something just ahead of me Till the chasing changed who I’d be [Chorus] I keep reaching for that high Just out of my hands Like a tail light fading on an old two-lane Every time I think I’m there It slips out of frame But I’m learning how to love the in-between All these almosts in my life Yeah I almost lost it Almost quit But standing in this crooked light I almost got it right I almost got it right (oh yeah) I almost got it right
