Lyrics:

I'm glad I had the nerve to talk to you that dayI could just have easily have let you get awayIn that crowded airport, far from my hometownIf I had lost my courage then, you wouldn't be aroundI'm glad I had the nerve.And I'm glad he had the nerve to get down on his kneesAnd say 'i bought this ring for you, won't you wear it please? 'My daddy sure touched somethin' in my momma's heart somehowIf he hadn't, I sure wouldn't be here with you nowI'm glad he had the nerve.Or I never would've lived like thisOr learned like thisOr laughed like thisOr loved like thisI'm glad he had the nerve to sail across the sea[The Nerve lyrics on http://www.elyricsworld.com]My great grand-daddy's great grandpa in 1833He met an indian maiden in the smoky mountain mistIf they hadn't crossed that line, I would not existI'm glad they had the nerve.And I'm glad he had the nerve, while staring into spaceTo give this universe a time and a placeWith one tiny atom or an adam and an eveHowever you look at it, whatever you believeI'm glad he had the nerve.Or we never would've live like thisOr learned like thisOr laughed like thisOr loved like thisThank God he had the nerve.And I'm glad I had the nerve to talk to you that day
