She started her
New life

Ten dollars in debt

An&#39; that&#39;s all it
Took

To get started
Back then

A trip to the
Courthouse

Across the State
Line

No one could
Stop her

She&#39;d made up
Her mind

He was eighteen
An&#39; she wasn&#39;t

But she said
She was

An&#39; never thought
Twice

An&#39; came back home
As my daddy&#39;s wife

When her mama
Said, are you sure

He&#39;s the one
She was

He took a job
An&#39; farmed on

The side

Changes were comin&#39;
To their little world

She said what
Would you like

A boy, or a girl

An&#39; he said, are
You?

And she said
She was

&#39;Bout takin&#39; the
Next step

An&#39; buildin&#39; their
Lives

An&#39; she tried to be
Everything to us

An&#39; 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&#39; my hand
As she let go

Of life

Daddy always said
A woman like her

Would be hard
To give up

An&#39;
She was

If there ever was
A picture of love

She was...
