| 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 |
