Everyone has been in a relationship that is going to end, and nothing is going to stop it. You can almost stay together but almost only counts in Horseshoes and Hangrenades.
Lyrics
Horseshoes and Handgrenades Doesn’t it almost make you cry When you think about you and I And the love that might have been I guess it wasn’t written in the stars And it wasn’t in the cards And I think that it’s a sin To be almost to the crossing Only to miss the bus Love was in the offing And it was almost there for us But almost only counts, in horseshoes and hangrenades Almost only counts in horseshoes and handgrenades Oh I’m afraid I’ll have to rain on your parade Almost only counts In horseshoes and handgrenades So whats gonna happen to you now Will you keep your faith somehow Or will you never love again We both had our heads in the sand When we should have made a stand And saw these bad times through to the end So don’t cut off your nose just to spite your face And hide your heart in a secret place Find somebody whos more than just almost ready to stay Cause almost only counts, in horseshoes and handgrenades Almost only counts in horseshoes and handgrenades Oh I’m afraid I’ll have to rain on my own parade Almost only counts It’s not half empty no The glass is half full It’s almost tempting To play the fool But almost only counts…. You know that one from two leaves one And when divided by itself Well the answer still is one These are the only absolutes For us not so raw recruits Ending a war that can’t be won And as I ride my shoeless horse into the sunset You kick the safety pin away And though the story isn’t done yet It’s almost too late to save the day But almost only counts In horseshoes and handgrenades Almost only counts in horseshoes and handgrenades Oh I’m afraid I’ll have to rain on the parade Words and music by Gordon Hunt Copyright 1985 Werdzen Music company (ASCAP)
