I'm glad i had the nerve to talk to you that day |
|
I could just have easily have let you get away |
|
In that crowded airport, far from my hometown |
|
If i had lost my courage then, you wouldn't be around |
|
I'm glad i had the nerve. |
|
And i'm glad he had the nerve to get down on his knees |
|
And say 'i bought this ring for you, won't you wear it please?' |
|
My daddy sure touched somethin' in my momma's heart somehow |
|
If he hadn't, i sure wouldn't be here with you now |
|
I'm glad he had the nerve. |
|
Or i never would've lived like this |
|
Or learned like this |
|
Or laughed like this |
|
Or loved like this |
|
I'm glad he had the nerve to sail across the sea |
|
My great grand-daddy's great grandpa in 1833 |
|
He met an indian maiden in the smoky mountain mist |
|
If they hadn't crossed that line, i would not exist |
|
I'm glad they had the nerve. |
|
And i'm glad he had the nerve, while staring into space |
|
To give this universe a time and a place |
|
With one tiny atom or an adam and an eve |
|
However you look at it, whatever you believe |
|
I'm glad he had the nerve. |
|
Or we never would've live like this |
|
Or learned like this |
|
Or laughed like this |
|
Or loved like this |
|
Thank god he had the nerve. |
|
And i'm glad i had the nerve to talk to you that day |
