I'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 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 somethin' 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've 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 grand-daddy'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. And 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 we never would've live 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
