I'm glad I had the nerve
To talk to you that day
I could just as easily
And let you get away
In that crowded airport
Far from my hometown
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 somethin'
In my Mamma'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've
Lived like this
Or learned like this
Or laughed like this
Or loved like this

I'm glad he had the nerve

My great grand daddy's
Great grandpa in 1833
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've
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
