George Strait — The Nerve

[Verse 1] 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 mommas 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 [Verse 2] 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] [Outro] Thank God, he had the nerve And I'm glad I had the nerve to talk to you that day
