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
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
Or I never would have lived 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.
