Karaoké She Was Mark Chesnutt

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

And she wasn't

But she said she was and never thought twice

Came back home as my daddy's wife

She just shook her head when her momma said

Are you sure he's the one

She was

He took a job and farmed on the side

He made the ends meet but she kept 'em tied

Changes were coming to their little world

She said what would you like a boy or a girl

And he said

Are you

And 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

And 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

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

And she was

If there ever was a picture of love

She was
