(Verse 1)
He’s got a badge and a worn-out smile
Been walking hard roads mile by mile
Says “ma’am” like it still means something
Opens doors like it ain’t nothing
And when he laughs, it’s low and slow
Like he’s seen things I don’t know
But there’s a kindness in his eyes
That feels like home I recognize
(Pre-Chorus)
I swore I’d never fall this way
But he’s got me thinking ‘bout yesterday
(Chorus)
He loves me like my daddy did
Strong and steady, never quits
Stands his ground, but holds me close
Knows when I need him the most
Yeah, he’s tough, but his heart’s all gold
Same kind of man that raised my soul
I didn’t plan it, but here I am
Falling for a uniform man
(Verse 2)
He don’t talk ‘bout the things he’s seen
But I can tell what it all must mean
Every scar’s got a story there
Every silence is a prayer
And when the night gets cold and long
He pulls me in, makes me feel strong
Like no matter what this world might do
He’ll stand between it and me too
(Pre-Chorus)
Mama always said I’d understand
Why she chose a man like him
(Chorus)
He loves me like my daddy did
Strong and steady, never quits
Stands his ground, but holds me close
Knows when I need him the most
Yeah, he’s tough, but his heart’s all gold
Same kind of man that raised my soul
I didn’t plan it, but here I am
Falling for a uniform man
(Bridge)
I see it in the way he prays
Before he walks out the door each day
And I whisper, “Come back to me”
Just like mama used to plead
It’s a love that’s brave, a love that’s true
Wrapped in red, white, and blue
And it scares me some, but I believe
He’s everything I’ll ever need
(Final Chorus)
Yeah, he loves me like my daddy did
With steady hands and stubborn grit
He fights for right, he won’t back down
But lays his armor on the ground
When he’s with me, he’s soft and real
Shows me every way love can feel
I finally see what mama knew
Why she gave her heart to blue
(Outro)
So I’ll hold him close and pray each night
God keeps him safe in every fight
‘Cause loving him, I understand…
Why I fell for a uniform man
