She started her new life ten dollars in debt |
|
That's all it took to get started back then |
|
A trip to the courthouse across the state line |
|
No one could stop her, she'd made up her mind |
|
He was eighteen, she wasn't |
|
But she said she was and never thought twice |
|
Came back home as my daddy's wife |
|
She just shook her head when her momma said |
|
"Are you sure he's the one?", She was |
|
He took a job and farmed on the side |
|
He made the ends meet, but she kept 'em tied |
|
Changes were coming to their little world |
|
She said, "What would you like, a boy or a girl" |
|
And he said, "Are you?" |
|
She said she was and never thought twice |
|
'Bout takin the next step in building their lives |
|
Soon there were three and she tried to be |
|
Everything to us and she was |
|
Those precious moments turned into years |
|
In what seemed like the blink of an eye |
|
I held her hand as I leaned down to ask her |
|
"Momma, are you ready to say goodbye" |
|
And she said she was but she thought twice |
|
Holdin' my hand as she let go life |
|
Daddy always said a woman like her |
|
Would be hard to give up and she was, she was |
|
If there ever was a picture of love, she was |
