She started her new life
Ten dollars in debt
And that's all it took to get started back then
A trip to the court house, across the state line
No one could stop her, she'd made up her mind
He was eighteen, she wasn't
She said she was
Never thought twice
Came back home as my daddy's wife
She just shook her head
When her mama said, "Are you sure he's the one?"
And she was
He took a job and farmed on the side
He made the ends meet but she kept them tight
Changes were coming to their little world
She said, "What would you like, a boy or a girl?"
He said, "Are you?"
She said she was
Never thought twice
'Bout takin' the next step and building their lives
Soon there were three
She tried to be everything to us
And she was
Those precious moments turned into years
In what seemed like a blink of the eye
I held her hand as I leaned down to tell her
Mama, are you ready to say goodbye?
She said she was
She thought twice
Holding my hand as she let go of life
Daddy always said a woman like her would be hard to give up
And she was
If there ever was a picture of love, she was
