[Instrumental Intro] [Fiddle introduces the melody. Pedal steel answers as acoustic guitar, piano, and the rhythm section establish a steady country groove.] [Verse 1] You were sorting through a shoebox, Found our picture from that day; My tie was hanging crooked, And your veil had blown away. You said, “Look how young we were then. Would you do it all again?” I said, “Find that suit and let it out, Then just tell me where and when.” [Chorus] I’d choose you every time, Knowing all the roads we’d take; For the dreams we brought to life, And the vows we wouldn’t break. For the home we’ve made together, For your heart right here by mine, If I had to start all over, I’d choose you every time. [Instrumental Turnaround] [Telecaster echoes the title melody; piano adds a gentle answering fill.] [Verse 2] I might learn a little sooner How to leave my pride outside; Say, “I’m sorry,” while you’re standing there, Instead of waiting half the night. I might take a few more days off, Spend more afternoons with you; But if you asked me one more time, I’d still tell you, “I do.” [Chorus] I’d choose you every time, Knowing all the roads we’d take; For the dreams we brought to life, And the vows we wouldn’t break. For the home we’ve made together, For your heart right here by mine, If I had to start all over, I’d choose you every time. [Instrumental Interlude] [Eight-bar pedal steel and fiddle exchange. Telecaster joins the final phrase while piano maintains the steady rhythm.] [Bridge] [Drums soften; acoustic guitar and piano support the vocal.] Put that picture on the mantel, Let tomorrow bring us more; I’ll still reach for you at sunrise, Like I did the day before. [Final Chorus] [Full band returns; close country harmonies lift the melody.] I’d choose you every time, Knowing all the roads we’d take; For the dreams we brought to life, And the vows we wouldn’t break. For the home we’ve made together, For your heart right here by mine, If I had to start all over, I’d choose you every time. [Outro] [Drums soften; pedal steel sustains beneath the vocal.] You can tell me where and when, girl, I’ll be there with my best tie. If I had to start all over… I’d choose you every time. [Instrumental Ending] [Fiddle reprises the opening melody. Pedal steel and piano resolve over a warm final F chord.] © 2026 Redneck Muslim. All rights reserved.
