Don't think that I don't see the way you struggle

Watchin' me struggle

Don't think that I don't feel you turn away

Every time I turn away

And please believe that I believe

When I'm prayin'

That you're right beside me prayin'

For the same thing

You're 5' 3" born in Carolina

Front pew pretty

And Friday night free

You're dashboard singin'

Little red Corvette

Sweet as forgiveness

From the moment that we met

I never knew I had a fighter

I know when you're silent

The silence says more than a scream

And I know when you say that you hate me

It ain't what you mean

When you say that you'll leave and you'll leave

But only for a while

For just a while

You're stubborn and strong

Crazy as New Orleans

Your faded blue denim

A diamond on the town

My t-shirt in the mornin'

Midnight in my hands

And there you're still here, I just don't understand

Never knew I had a fighter

Just when I thought I knew everythin' about you

You're 5' 3" born in Carolina

Still front pew pretty

And Friday night free

You're dashboard singin'

Little red Corvette

Sweet as forgiveness

From the moment that we met

I never knew I had a fighter

I never knew I had a fighter

Please believe that I believe when I'm prayin' that you're right beside me prayin'

Never knew I had a fighter
