She Didn't Have To

I'm a pistol with the safety off

Shootin' Bulleit in the neon on the rocks

I'm a burnout when I catch a flame

I leave a trail of smoke instead of waitin' on the rain

If I were her and I'd seen me

I'd tell myself to hell with that and leave

She didn't have to put up with bloodshot eyes, wakin' up too late on a Sunday mornin'

Didn't have to take the reins on a mustang heart, wave off that warnin'

Give a second chance to a reckless man, take the leavin' outta my boots

Run the risk on somethin' to fix, she didn't have to, but she did

She didn't have to, but she did

She's a straight line to the straight and narrow

True north to a broken arrow

Every night I hold her keeps the devil off my shoulder

She didn't have to put up with bloodshot eyes, wakin' up too late on a Sunday mornin'

Didn't have to take the reins on a mustang heart, wave off that warnin'

Give a second chance to a reckless man, take the leavin' outta my boots

Run the risk on somethin' to fix, she didn't have to, but she did

And thank God she does

She saw who I could be through who I was

She didn't have to put up with bloodshot eyes, wakin' up too late on a Sunday mornin'

Didn't have to take the reins on a mustang heart, wave off that warnin'

Give a second chance to a reckless man, take the leavin' outta my boots

Run the risk on somethin' to fix, she didn't have to, but she did

She didn't have to, but she did
