[Verse 1]
He’s a little rough around the edges
Still smells like smoke and second chances
Been burned enough to read the exits
But he don’t run when it gets heavy

He’s got that late-night, worn-in smile
Been a few miles past denial
Yeah, he’s got reasons to be guarded
But he don’t treat my heart like it’s broken

[Pre-Chorus]
He don’t promise heaven
He just shows up honest

[Chorus]
He loves me the right way
A little reckless, but he knows my name
Old soul heart with a fast lane
Still turns it down when I sing along to Merle
He ain’t no “hold you down” kind of man
But he’ll hold me close when he can
You can meet his mama, see the good and the flaws
But get me alone, yeah, the fire gets strong
And all the gold in this small-town place
Couldn’t pull me away
Yeah, he loves me the right way

[Verse 2]
He don’t flinch at my sharp corners
Doesn’t ask me to be softer
Lets me drive, lets me choose the song
Knows when to listen, knows when to be strong

He don’t need to be the hero
Just steady hands on the wheel, slow
He don’t fix me, don’t try to save me
Just loves me like I don’t need saving

[Pre-Chorus]
He don’t play games
He don’t love halfway

[Chorus]
He loves me the right way
A little wild, but he ain’t afraid
Of a woman who won’t be tamed
Still smiles when I play him Merle
He ain’t no “yes ma’am” kind of man
But he’ll meet me where I stand
You can see his rough, you can hear my fire
But together we burn just right
And all the money in the bank couldn’t make me change
Yeah, he loves me the right way

[Bridge]
And he stays
When it’s quiet, when it’s hard
When my walls come down too far
He don’t love me loud for show
He loves me where it counts the most

[Final Chorus]
He loves me the right way
Not perfect, but he’s mine to claim
Knows my past, still calls my name
Like I’m something worth holding on to
He ain’t no “forever’s easy” man
But forever feels real where I stand
And all the wrong roads I’ve been down before
Led me right to his door
Yeah, he loves me the right way

[Outro]
Guess I had to lose my way
To know what the right way feels like
