Lyrics
[Verse 1] Sixteen and holding a baby's hand, Too shy to speak in that desert land, A waiter smiling across the room, Country songs in the summer bloom. We'd fade like dust on a two-lane road, 'Til a church pew lightened the load. [Chorus] And oh, we chose to stay, Through the storm we found our way, Built on faith that would not break, On the promise we'd never walk away. Every scar became a song, Every falling made us strong. [Verse 2] Two months in and I finally knew, Exactly what my heart would do, From California to Idaho snow, Culture shock and the growing pains grow. You wore a badge, then a realtor's key, I healed the sick, you healed me. [Chorus] And oh, we chose to stay, Through the storm we found our way, Built on faith that would not break, On the promise we'd never walk away. Every scar became a song, Every falling made us strong. [Bridge] Jimmy, when our little girl was in that fight, We nearly lost our footing in the night, But grace came down and forgiveness grew, And I fell in love again with you. [Verse 3] A son you claimed as your very own, Twins and a girl to fill our home, Bed rest months and the sleepless years, Dad jokes drying every tear. Twenty-five years, eighteen as one, Vows renewed beneath the sun. [Chorus] And oh, we chose to stay, Through the storm we found our way, Built on faith that would not break, On the promise we'd never walk away. Every scar became a song, Jimmy, you're where I belong. [Outro] So kind, so tender, so true, Jimmy, I'd choose it all with you.
