She started her
New life

Ten dollars in debt

An' 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
An' she wasn't

But she said
She was

An' never thought
Twice

An' came back home
As my daddy's wife

When her mama
Said, are you sure

He's the one
She was

He took a job
An' farmed on

The side

Changes were comin'
To their little world

She said what
Would you like

A boy, or a girl

An' he said, are
You?

And she said
She was

'Bout takin' the
Next step

An' buildin' their
Lives

An' she tried to be
Everything to us

An' she was

Those precious
Moments

Turned into years

In what seemed
Like a blink

Of an eye

I held her hand
As I leaned down

To ask her

Mama are you
Ready to say

Good-bye?

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

If there ever was
A picture of love

She was...
