I'd Pick You

So we've been a while a-coming
We've spent a bit a-loving
Our romancing and gazing didn't turn into nothing
Gotta little more hair on my chest these days

They say love is worth the waiting
And we're still in the making
I've told you it's worth it but you knew when I was faking
Now if you're wondering, let me let you know

I'd pick you, all over again
A million times, start over and then
I'd pick you, all over again

Life isn't always pretty, when you're in the nitty gritty
Time is waging war against us
And we're just not in our twenties, thank God
You can still cry at these little songs

Well I've thought ...
The thing you get me thinking
There's never been an empire without battles worth beating
What do you say, when we're out of ammo?
We'll get away. it's just us against the world another day

I'd pick you, all over again
A million times, start over and then
I'd pick you, all over again

Nursing homes and wrinkles
Lazy boys and kettles
Spoiling our childrens' sweet children
That meddle with things
Isn't it strange
We're not so young anymore

But if Jesus takes you quicker
It's cause my heart is thicker
Still you were choosing caskets
They make me want to shiver
Don't fret. I won't be far behind I bet
Before you finish counting all your diamonds
I'll be right behind you to remind you life is crazy
Before that I'll bend down and whisper "darlin, you were amazing"
And I know you cannot hear me now
But I promise you this one thing

I'd pick you, all over again
A million times, start over and then
I'd pick you, all over again

Oh, I'd pick you, all over again
A million times, start over and then
I'd pick you, all over again
I'd pick you, all over again
I'd pick you, all over again
