She Chose Me

She was a bible belt lovin' believer With a twelve year ring on her hand Got a little too close to the fire And started burnin' for another man One thing lead to another At a motel on Galveston Bay They didn't know it at the time But more than just love was made That's one hell of a choice to make If it went the other way nobody would have blamed her Think of all the small town talk it would have saved her She could have chosen one quick fix To get her out of one big mess She could have tied a different ribbon to the ending of the story Coulda kept her secret, gotten out before it Changed her life, she could've changed her mind And changed everything But she chose me She didn't quite know how to tell him You try to speak a truth like that She didn't know where to turn to But she knew a way to take it back She had it written into her schedule Like just another thing to do But that box never got checked off And I'm sittin' here livin' proof If it went the other way nobody would have blamed her Think of all the small town talk it would have saved her She could have chosen one quick fix To get her out of one big mess She could have tied a different ribbon to the ending of the story Coulda kept her secret, gotten out before it Changed her life, she could've changed her mind And changed everything But she chose me But she chose me, yeah Me the daughter, me the sister Me the dreamer with pigtails in pictures Me the wife, my husband loves I'm just thankful because If it went the other way nobody would have blamed her Think of all the small town talk it would have saved her She could have chosen one quick fix To get her out of one big mess She could have tied a different ribbon to the ending of the story Coulda kept her secret, gotten out before it Changed her life, she could've changed her mind And changed everything But she chose me She chose me
