Description
Wrote this song with K.Burns, and L. Flowers in Nashville, TN. The story in this song is my story, and what I went through to be where I am today. I want to thank Keith and Lorna for helping me get this message written into such a unique song. As well as a big thanks to the folks in my life who helped me get back on the right path, without them I would have Missed It.
Lyrics
I ADMIT I WAS SCARED TO DEATH I HAD SO MANY THINGS RUNNING THROUGH MY HEAD I CONVINCED MYSELF TO STAY INSTEAD OF LEAVING. BUT DAD SAID "SON GET ON THAT PLANE, HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO MAKE A NAME SOMETIMES IT COMES DOWN TO JUST BELIEVING." A YEAR TO THE DAY THOSE WHEELS TOUCHED DOWN I WAS STANDING ON SECOND STUMBLING AROUND WHEN A BUDDY OF MINE FROM MY HOME TOWN YELLED MY NAME HE SAID, "EVERYBODY BACK HOME THINKS YOU'RE DOING WELL, BUT BETWEEN YOU AND ME YOU LOOK LIKE HELL". FROM THAT MOMENT ON AIN'T NOTHING BEEN THE SAME.... (CHORUS) I NEVER THOUGHT IN A MILLION YEARS I'D BE DOING ALL THIS AND STANDING RIGHT HERE, IT'S AMAZING JUST HOW CRAZY LIFE CAN BE. SOMETIMES YOU SINK, SOMETIMES YOU SWIM, BUT WHEN YOU CLIMB OUT ON THAT LIMB, YOU GIVE YOURSELF A CHANCE TO LIVE A DREAM. AND HERE'S THE THING, I ALMOST MISSED IT. (I ALMOST MISSED IT) (BRIDGE) I AIN'T PREACHING, I'M JUST SAYING, THE ONLY WAY TO SEE THE STARS IS TO OPEN UP YOUR EYES. (CHORUS) I NEVER THOUGHT IN A MILLION YEARS I'D BE DOING ALL THIS, STANDING RIGHT HERE, IT'S AMAZING JUST HOW CRAZY LIFE CAN BE. SOMETIMES YOU SINK, SOMETIMES YOU SWIM, BUT WHEN YOU CLIMB OUT ON THAT LIMB, YOU GIVE YOURSELF A CHANCE TO LIVE A DREAM. AND HERE'S THE THING, I ALMOST MISSED IT. HERE'S THE THING, IT JUST AIN'T LIFE IF YOU DONT LIVE IT AND TO THINK, I ALMOST MISSED IT... I ALMOST MISSED IT
