She started her new life ten dollars in
debt,
That's all it took to get started back
then.
A trip to the courthouse across the
state line,
No-one could stop her,
She'd
made up her mind.
He was eighteen, an she
wasn't;

But she said she was,
And never
thought twice.
And came back home as my daddy's
wife.
She just shook her head when her mama
said:
"Are you sure he's the one?"
An' she
was.

He took a job and farmed on the
side;
He made the ends meet, but she kept 'em
tied.
Chganges were comin' to their little
world,
She said: "What would you like?
"A
boy or a girl?"
And he said: "Are
you?"

An' she said she was,
And never
thought twice.
'Bout takin' the next step in
building their lives.
Soon there were three
and she tried to be,
Everything to us,
An'
she was.

Those precious moments turned
into years,
In what seemed like the blink of
an eye.
I held her hand as I leaned down to
ask her,
"Momma, are you ready to say
goodbye?"

An' she said she was,
But she
thought twice,
Holdin' my hand as she let go of
life.
Daddy always said a woman like
her,
Would be hard to give up.
An' she was.
(She was.)

If there ever was a picture of
love,
She was.
