Lyrics: She Was

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 that state line No-one could stop her She's 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 Changes 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 thoguht twice 'Bout takin' the next step in building their lives Soon there were three and she tried to Everything to us An she was Those preious moments turned into years In what seemed like a blink of an eye I held he rhand 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
