"She Didn't Have To" lyrics

I'm a pistol with the safety off
Shootin' bullet 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
