Almost Gave Up | For Anyone Who Almost Quit | Ben Outlaw

Almost Gave Up | Ben Outlaw Some nights, making it to morning takes everything you've got. “Almost Gave Up” by Ben Outlaw is a personal outlaw country rap song about sleepless nights, self-doubt, and the small hope that gives you a reason to keep going. The first verse starts at the mirror, with someone struggling to recognize himself. He's overthinking, asking God for answers, and trying to carry on for the people who depend on him. There's no easy confidence in those lines. He's worn down, questioning his purpose, and still looking for something worth holding on to. “Funny how one small hope remained Quietly callin' out my name I'm thankful I listened” That quiet moment gives the song its heart. Through sorrow, memories, and the search for a better day, the narrator keeps returning to a simple promise: “I'm gonna find a way.” By the final chorus, being thankful he listened to that hope says more than any claim of having life figured out. “Almost Gave Up” speaks to listeners who connect with country rap about real-life struggles, reflective Americana storytelling, and songs about perseverance. Faith, responsibility, and the wish to feel like yourself again all have a place here.

FULL LYRICS [Verse 1] Another sleepless night Rainfall tears, another sleepness night Look in the mirror, don't believe my eyes Ain't seen the sun in like a week or five Every day is like a crash course Overthinkin' everything Not to mention everythin' I'm askin' for Screamin' out to the Lord, hopin' he would answer Questionin' myself, why am I here for? Could've been gone a long time ago Had to step away, almost lost my soul But when you got people dependin' on you Got no choice but to carry on [Chorus] I almost gave up more than once Almost believed I wasn't enough Funny how one small hope remained Quietly callin' out my name I'm thankful I listened Mm, oh [Verse 2] Heart full of sorrow, bottle full of pain Grievin' for myself, starin' out the windowpane My reflection shows the past As I'm searchin' for a better day But I know better days don't come to stay Dyin' in this world, survivin' just to die another day Until that day, I'm gonna find a way I'm gonna find a way [Chorus] I almost gave up more than once Almost believed I wasn't enough Funny how one small hope remained Quietly callin' out my name I'm thankful I listened [Bridge] Life's a battle every day And sometimes, it's hard to see the sun when it's rainin' But you gotta hold on, 'cause it's better days I promise you it's better days [Outro] I almost gave up more than once Almost believed I wasn't enough Funny how one small hope remained Quietly callin' out my name I'm thankful I listened #AlmostGaveUp #BenOutlaw #OutlawCountry #CountryRap #Americana #SongsAboutHope #HoldingOn #Perseverance #FaithAndStruggle #IndependentMusic
