Don't Need A Man

[Country] [Southern Rock] [Roots Rock] [Upbeat] [Driving] [Female Vocal] [Storytelling] [Modern Country] [Gritty] [Energetic] Verse 1 I’ve got a truck that starts most mornings A key ring worn thin from time I know which bills are paid on Friday Which roads still feel like mine I’ve learned how to stand my ground easy Without raising up my voice I don’t need saving from my own life But I still believe in choice Pre-Chorus I’ve seen how fast a good thing bends When it’s built on noise instead of sense Chorus I don’t need a man to hold me together I’ve been doing fine on my own But if you’re gonna walk beside me You better know how to come back home Be kind when it’s quiet Be solid when it’s hard I’m not asking for perfect Just someone with a steady heart Verse 2 I’ve watched love turn into talking And talking turn into blame I’ve learned when to stop explaining Why I don’t play that game I don’t need fireworks every weekend Or someone proving they’re tough I’ve seen strength show up real simple When showing up is enough Pre-Chorus I don’t need loud to feel secure I just need honest and sure Chorus I don’t need a man to hold me together I’ve been doing fine on my own But if you’re gonna walk beside me You better know how to come back home Be calm when you’re angry Be gentle when you’re right I’m not asking for forever Just someone who lives it right Bridge I’ve still got room for laughter Still believe in leaning in I don’t close the door on love I just don’t leave it wide open For someone passing through again Final Chorus I don’t need a man to make me feel chosen I already know my worth But if you’re gonna take my hand You better know what that means on this earth Stand up when it matters Stay soft when you can I don’t need a man to need me I just want a good one who can Outro I’ve built a life I’m proud of Brick by careful brick If you’re coming along for the ride Make sure you fit
