I Picked You Then
“I Picked You Then” is an upbeat rockabilly-country love song about the kind of relationship that doesn’t need grand gestures to prove itself.
Set against morning coffee, old roads, porch lights and the ordinary routines of a life shared together, the song looks back on years of laughter, hard times and simply showing up for one another. The answer at the heart of it remains wonderfully uncomplicated: given the chance to start all over, the choice would still be the same.
Driven by a lively rockabilly shuffle, Telecaster picking, upright bass and a warm baritone vocal, “I Picked You Then” celebrates lasting love without turning sentimental. It’s not about finding a perfect life or a perfect person. It’s about choosing someone once, building a life together, and discovering years later that you’d happily choose them all over again.

Lyrics
Sunrise through the window pane
Another morning starts again
Coffee steamin' on the stove
A quiet peace a steady love
I picked you then
I'd pick you all over again
Through the wild winds and the gentle rain
You're the only one I'd ever claim
We've seen some shadows long and deep
Secrets that the old roads keep
We've laughed until our faces hurt
Dug our way through all the dirt
Never a doubt never a stray
Always found our honest way
I picked you then
I'd pick you all over again
Through the wild winds and the gentle rain
You're the only one I'd ever claim
Some folks search for a sign in the sky
We just kept showing up, you and I
Hand in hand in the checkout line
Same old keys, same old porch light
I picked you then
I'd pick you all over again
Through the wild winds and the gentle rain
You're the only one I'd ever claim
Sunrise through the window pane
And here we are, still the same
