George Strait — The Nerve lyrics

Lyrics

IЂ™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 wouldnЂ™t be around
IЂ™m glad I had the nerve.
And IЂ™m glad he had the nerve to get down on his knees
And say I bought this ring for you, wonЂ™t you wear it please?
My daddy sure touched somethinЂ™ in my mommaЂ™s heart somehow
If he hadnЂ™t, I sure wouldnЂ™t be here with you now
IЂ™m glad he had the nerve.
Or I never wouldЂ™ve lived like this
Or learned like this
Or laughed like this
Or loved like this
IЂ™m glad he had the nerve to sail across the sea
My great grand-daddyЂ™s great grandpa in 1833
He met an indian maiden in the smoky mountain mist
If they hadnЂ™t crossed that line, I would not exist
IЂ™m glad they had the nerve.
And IЂ™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
IЂ™m glad he had the nerve.
Or we never wouldЂ™ve live like this
Or learned like this
Or laughed like this
Or loved like this
Thank God he had the nerve.
And IЂ™m glad I had the nerve to talk to you that day
