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 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 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

Chorus:
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
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
My great granddaddy'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.

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

Chorus:
Or I 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...
