The Nerve Lyrics

Title: The Nerve
Songwriter: Bobby Braddock
From the MCA Nashville Album: Carrying Your Love With Me
Intro: E
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 home town
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-grandaddy's great-grandpa in eighteen thirty-three
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 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
