I've run down roads I shouldn't have walked
Made promises I broke before we even talked
Had nights too wild, and mornings too rough
Took my sweet time finding enough was enough
I've gambled my heart, and I've lost a few hands
But every mistake shaped the man I am
Now I'm ready to settle down
Plant my roots in this town
Find a sweet girl who'll turn my world around
Someone who's steady, with a heart like the rain
Washing away the weight of my pain
I've learned the hard way; it's love that's true
And I swear I'm waiting now for someone like you
Used to think freedom was a bottle and a bar
Living fast, no plans, and sleeping in my car
But it's lonely out there under the neon lights
And I've grown tired of the endless fight
Now I want Sunday dinners and rocking porch swings
The kind of love only real life brings
Now I'm ready to settle down, plant my roots in this town
Find a sweet girl who'll turn my world around
Someone who's steady, with a heart like the rain
Washing away the weight of my pain
I've learned the hard way, it's love that's true
And I swear I'm waiting now for someone like you
So here I stand, with my heart wide open
Every wrong choice just a love letter unspoken
I'm ready now, no fooling around
Looking for her to help me settle down
