She ^G started her new life ten ^A dollars in debt
^G That's all it took to get s ^A tarted back then
A ^G trip to the courthouse ac ^A ross the state line
^G No one could stop her she'd ^A made up her mind
He was ^G eighteen and she ^A wasn't
(chorus)
But she said she ^D was and never thought ^F#m twice
Came back ^G home as my daddy's ^A wife
She just shook her ^D head
And her momma s ^Bm aid “are you sure he's the ^G one?” ^A

^G He took a job and ^A farmed on the side
^G He made the ends meet but ^A she kept them tight
^G Changes were coming to t ^A heir little world
She said “ ^G what would you like a ^A boy or a girl?”
And he said, “ ^G are you?”… ^A
(chorus)
And she said she ^D was and never thought ^F#m twice
About taking the n ^G ext step and building their ^A lives
Soon there were ^D three and she tried to ^Bm be everything to ^G us ^A

^G Those precious moments ^A turned into years
In what ^D seemed like a ^A blink of an ^G/F# eye
^Em I held her hand as I ^G leaned down to ask her
^Em “Momma are you ready to ^A say good bye?”
(chorus)
She said she ^D was but she thought ^F#m twice
Holding my ^G hand as she let go of ^A life
Daddy always ^D said a woman like ^Bm her would be hard to give ^G up ^A
And she ^Bm was
If there ^G ever was a picture of ^A love
She ^D was
