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
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Thank God, he had the nerve;
|
And I'm glad I had the nerve to talk to you that day.
