Chesnutt, Mark - She Was Lyrics






She started her new life ten dollars in debt
That's all it took to get started back then
A trip to the courthouse across the state line
No one could stop her, she'd made up her mind
He was eighteen, she wasn't

But she said she was and never thought twice
Came back home as my daddy's wife
She just shook her head when her momma said
"Are you sure he's the one?" She was

He took a job and farmed on the side
He made the ends meet, but she kept 'em tied
Changes were coming to their little world
She said "What would you like, a boy or a girl?"
He said "Are you?"

She said she was and never thought twice
'Bout takin the next step in building their lives
Soon there were three and she tried to be
Everything to us And she was

Those precious moments turned into years
In what seemed like the blink of an eye
I held her hand as I leaned down to ask her
"Momma, Are you ready to say goodbye?"

She said she was but she thought twice
Holdin' my hand as she let go of life
Daddy always said a woman like her
Would be hard to give up
And she was

She was

If there ever was a picture of love,
She was

  10. F.... L....

    Academy of country music shafted him like they did to Toby Keith so many years. Mark is by far one of the exceptional Artists that is Pure Country.

    F.... L....

    I sing this every night

  11. s.... ....

    last time i seen him couldnt even believe it! sang every song i ever loved perfectly!!!!! was with murphy 500 and eli teller and they all kicked ass!!!!!! and mark was still singing after 2 hrs. was just amazing!!!!!!! thank you mark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Just realized the girl in the vdeo near the end was the little girl in Concrete Angel by Martina McBride. Anyway, this song always has me in tears when I listen to it.

  14. N.... N....

    Beautiful Song my all time favorite by Mark Chestnut so much feeling in this song I'm 28 and listen to this song everyday

  15. A.... C....

    First time I heard this song, I bawled my eyes out, then thought of my momma. They’ll never make a song like this again

    I’ve never been able to make it through this song without crying

  21. C.... P....

    This video was shot at my house in 2006 l think. They used our family's pictures in many of the scenes.

  22. J.... F....

    Saw him and Joe Diffie last night in St. Louis, and he still has it. Miss this type of country. Thanks for still going out there and bringing "country" music to the fans.

    Lost my mom back in April the song makes me think about her not just now it always did miss you Mom

  26. P.... S....

    😢 my mum was.

  27. 7.... ....

    One of the Top Ten songs that can reduce a man to tears. If you don't love your Mom, you're not a real man.

  28. L.... K....

    Every time I hear this song, I think of my mum, and I cry.

    L.... K....

    I'm gonna sing this at a karaoke bar u can come watch me sing it if you want

    mark chesnutt golden voice

  34. J.... 2....

    Such a powerful song. I can't help but cry when I play it.

  35. T.... C....

    Ain't no way Luke Bryan, or any other country singers today can make you feel songs like this.. today's country isn't about feelings, it's about trucks and mud.. 80s thru mid 90s country will forever be untouched..

    T.... C....

    The Chosen One Luke Bryan is crap.

    T.... C....

    @Dana Rogers I agree I was introduced to mark chestnuts music by one of my co workers when I was a grounds matince engineer now I Love mark chestnuts music. I can't stand the new bullshit that is played today

    Country music isn't like this anymore. I wish the "old country" was played more on the radio not this "new country" crap. I'm 28 and I like the old stuff that many people my age haven't heard. I grew up listening to Red Sovine

    i.... y....

    inu yasha I'm the same way I'm 16 turning 17. And the older country is nice. Love listening to it.

  94. A.... D....

    I love this song. it reminds me of my beautiful , Grandma

  95. j.... s....

    Classic country sound.....Not the crap that comes from Nashville these days !

    j.... s....

    Don't you mean "Trashville"?

    j.... s....

    Yep....Works for me !

    j.... s....

    Oh geesh ???......Have a nice weekend !

    j.... s....

    It could be that music in general has passed the point of interest for older folks like myself.  Indeed, it is not like it used to be.  There is most certainly talent out there, but nobody my age is interest in it.  I am from the older school of music interest.  My interest in country music left right around 2006-07.  By the way, this particular one is from exactly fourteen years ago right now, and I have good memories of that time..

  96. R.... A....

    It makes me so angry to know that this great talented man didn't get enough credit .....but yet they give the credit to the rubbish and the embarrassment they play today !!!

    R.... A....

    Amen to that! No one likes this type of music anymore. It's all about rap that you can't even understand. That's not talent that's called technology to speed their voice up.

    R.... A....

    +Michael Pagano this is my FAVORITE kind of music. I could care less about rap, pop, and there's very few "new country" song that I like. I prefer the oldies to the "newbies" and I'm in my mid 20's I grew up with Waylon, Willie, Cash, all the oldies music.

    R.... A....

    +Michael Pagano I wouldn't say no one. This is my favorite Mark Chestnutt hit.

    R.... A....

    Rossy Aguilar Amen!

  97. E.... V....

    always loved this song!

  98. m.... a....

    i really like a kind of this music

  99. W.... D....

    I love this song, sad beautiful
