LACEY

My buddy down the street bought a Mustang

he’s some big-wig engineer

Drove by my house in the middle of the night

Revving it so everyone could hear

My next door neighbor got a Harley

A classic with a lot of chrome

Said, don’t worry bud, I’ll stop and pick you up

Anytime yours doesn’t make it home

Well, they both were sure disappointed

I showed no signs of turning green

Said I’ve got a date with Lacey tonight

Y’all have fun with your new machines

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Yeah…

They may have the money and the wheels

Pretty gold diggers nipping at their heals

But I know when excitement’s truly real

Cause I got Lacey, and the way she makes me feel

She likes my hair a little long, and my beat up truck

Says my laugh’s contagious , she can’t get enough

Never gave my friends a second glance

Proved that she was mine every time she got the chance

I know that they all think she’s crazy

But deep down

Every good man wants a Lacey

~~*~~

My old roommate  from college came to visit

A limo dropped him at my door

When Lacey came by he turned the charm on

He won’t be stopping by here any more

Oh yeah, she hung on me like a second skin

Acted like he was a parasite

He was mad as hell that she’d shot him down

I had the greatest night of my life

He said bud she’s got a face and killer body

Could have made her famous in a day

I do not have a clue what that girl sees in you

But no one’s ever treated me that way

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~

I said...

You may have the money and the wheels 

Pretty gold diggers nipping at your heels

But I know when excitement’s truly real

Cause I got Lacey, and the way she makes me feel

She likes my hair a little long and my beat up truck

Says my laugh’s contagious, she can’t get enough

She never gave you a second glance

Proved that she was mine every time she got the chance

I know you probably think she’s crazy

But deep down

Every good man wants a Lacey

~~*~~

I introduced Lacey to my Mama

My Papa was already won

She had Mama wrapped around her finger

Long before the night was done

Papa said you have our blessing Son

Get hitched and start having babies

We know you’ll be happy for the rest of your days

Married to a girl like Lacey

~~~*Finale*~~~

Yeah…

I know that they all think she’s crazy

But deep down

Every good man wants a Lacey
