She Chose Me

(앨범: Baytown - 2021)

She was a bible belt loving believer
With a twelve year ring on her hand
Got a little too close to the fire
And started burning 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 sitting here living 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
