jill sobule - almost great (live) كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
once they had my poems
up upon the schoolroom wall
my teacher told my parents
that i had something special
then she sent an essay to—

[interlude]
oh, can i start over?
okay
two, three, four

[verse 1]
once they had my poems
up on the schoolroom wall
my teacher told my parents
that i had something special
then she sent my essay
to the iowa review
i didn’t win a prize
but got an honorable mention

[chorus]
almost great
almost great
[verse 2]
after i left college
dropped out after two years
i left to new york city
for my musical career
i know it would’ve happened
but the band they got real jobs
they all got married
moved back to omaha

[chorus]
almost great
almost great
if i worked a little harder
i could’ve been a starter
almost great

[verse 3]
once i had a true love
a poet just like me
who actually has a book out now
a new york times bestseller
i don’t think it’s very good
i think i could do better
if only i could
get myself together
[chorus]
almost great
almost great
if i worked a little harder
i could’ve been a starter
almost great
before i say goodbye
guess i’ll give it one more try
almost great
almost great (everybody now)
almost great
almost great

[outro]
yay
