How did you do it
Growing up a young poor Southern Belle?
Barely got through it
Times were hard for pop but you couldn't tell

Packed your things, drove to Boston that spring
Well, you're braver than I've ever been

You had the wedding
But fled to Spain and met some other guy
Kissed on the ferry
Called up dead and broke it off that night

Risked it all, got your passport that fall
God, you're braver than I've ever been
What I'd give to have known you, baby

Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm

13 years later
Big surprise, was baby number three
Miracle-bender
You survive and somehow you had me

Even still all the strength and your will
Where you're braver than I've ever been
What I'd give to have known you back then
Hmm
