Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – acoustic + light electric swell] ⸻ [Verse 1] I was 18 thinkin’ I knew it all Big dreams, no clue how far I’d fall Talked tough like I had a plan Didn’t know life had other hands Said I’d never be stuck like this Swore I’d never miss what I miss Funny how fast it all gets real When you’re chasin’ somethin’ you can’t quite feel ⸻ [Pre-Hook] Every road I took Ain’t the one I thought I would ⸻ [Hook – strong, catchy, honest] I ain’t there yet, but I’m closer than I was Still got a lot to learn, still got a lot of dust Still got some nights I don’t understand But I’m standin’ right here, doin’ what I can I ain’t where I thought I’d be But I ain’t who I used to be Yeah I’m somewhere in between And that’s alright with me ⸻ [Verse 2] I’ve been up, I’ve been down a few Said some things I wish I could undo Lost some people I should’ve kept Held onto things I should’ve left But every mile and every scar Got me right here where we are Ain’t perfect, never claimed to be Just tryin’ to be a better me ⸻ [Pre-Hook] Every wrong turn Still somethin’ I can learn ⸻ [Hook] I ain’t there yet, but I’m closer than I was Still got a lot to learn, still got a lot of dust Still got some nights I don’t understand But I’m standin’ right here, doin’ what I can I ain’t where I thought I’d be But I ain’t who I used to be Yeah I’m somewhere in between And that’s alright with me ⸻ [Guitar Solo – short, confident, country rock] ⸻ [Final Hook – bigger, full band] I ain’t there yet, but I’m closer than I was Still got a lot to learn, still got a lot of dust Still got some nights I don’t understand But I’m standin’ right here, doin’ what I can I ain’t where I thought I’d be But I ain’t who I used to be Yeah I’m somewhere in between And that’s alright with me ⸻ [Outro – stripped] Yeah… that’s alright with me
