George Strait - The Nerve lyrics
[George Strait - The Nerve lyrics]
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 mommas 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
Thank God, he had the nerve
And I'm glad I had the nerve
To talk to you that day
