[Verse 1] I didn't have a ring when I asked you on that porch Just a boy with empty pockets and a heart that you'd uncork You said yes before I finished, like you'd already known Like God had whispered to you, that boy's bringing you home [Chorus] I'd choose you every time Kansas dust or Ohio rain I'd choose you every time Through the broke and through the pain If they sent me back to nothing Started over at the line I'D CHOOSE YOU EVERY TIME [Verse 2] You followed me to Oklahoma, never once complained Hung the curtains in that tiny place and prayed away the rain I watched you rock our firstborn in a chair we couldn't keep And I knew the Lord had blessed me past what I deserve or need [Chorus] I'd choose you every time Kansas dust or Ohio rain I'd choose you every time Through the broke and through the pain If they sent me back to nothing Started over at the line I'D CHOOSE YOU EVERY TIME [Bridge] (breath) Six kids and a little dog A mortgage and a prayer A garden and a gravel road And you're still standing there RUTH, YOU'RE STILL STANDING THERE [Chorus] I'd choose you every time Kansas dust or Ohio rain I'd choose you every time Through the broke and through the pain If they sent me back to nothing Started over at the line I'D CHOOSE YOU EVERY TIME [Outro] (breath) Every time, baby Every single time
