[Verse 1]
Met her on a Tuesday
Baby blue ballcap, front porch light
Laugh loud, boots on the dash
Turned my wrong-way life half right
She drinks black coffee
Reads old paperbacks at night
Says grace soft over drive-thru fries
And she still holds my hand at red lights
[Chorus]
She’s one of the good ones
Gold heart in a small-town frame
Don’t ask for nothin’
Still gave me her last name in a daydream
If I lose her, I’m done
Only thing I ever got right once
World full of runaways, hit-and-runs
She’s one of the good ones (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I was that backroad cliché
Too loud, too late, too gone
She rolled up, window down
Turned my “leave” into “lean on”
She don’t care ’bout my past life
Just the way I show up now
“Text your mom back, call your dad”
Then she kisses me, calms me down (yeah)
[Chorus]
She’s one of the good ones
Gold heart in a small-town frame
Don’t ask for nothin’
Still gave me her last name in a daydream
If I lose her, I’m done
Only thing I ever got right once
World full of runaways, hit-and-runs
She’s one of the good ones (oh-oh)
[Bridge]
I got friends still chasin’ that barlight high
I got scars from every time I tried
But she pulled me home from the long, long night
Said, “You ain’t your worst day, you’re mine” (yeah)
[Chorus]
She’s one of the good ones
Gold heart in a small-town frame
Don’t ask for nothin’
Still gave me her last name in a daydream
If I lose her, I’m done
Only thing I ever got right once
World full of runaways, hit-and-runs
She’s one of the good ones
[Outro]
Yeah, world full of runaways, hit-and-runs
I thank God I got one of the good ones (oh yeah)
