Lyrics for Song: She Was
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Wade Bowen
She started her new life ten dollars in debt
That's all it took to get started back then
A trip to the courthouse across that state line
No-one could stop her
She's made up her mind
He was eighteen,an she wasn't
But she said she was
And never thought twice
And came back home as my daddy's wife
She just shook her head when her mama said:
"Are you sure he's the one?"
An she was
He took a job and farmed on the side
He made the ends meet,but she kept'em tied
Changes were comin' to their little world
She said "What would you like?
"A boy or a girl?
And he said,"Are you?"
An she said she was
And never thoguht twice
'Bout takin' the next step in building their lives
Soon there were three and she tried to
Everything to us
An she was
Those preious moments turned into years
In what seemed like a blink of an eye
I held he rhand as I leaned down to ask her
"Momma,are you ready to say goodbye?"
An 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
An she was (She was)
If there ever was a picture of love
She was
