[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
