The Nerve

歌詞

I'm glad I had the nerve to talk to you that day. I could just as 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 something 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 have 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 granddaddy'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. 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 I never would have lived 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...
