I’ve Been Chasing Lisa Since ’Six”

Verse 1

Back in the Kingdom Hall parking lot

Clip-on tie and a cowlick I forgot

Six years old, sneakers untied

Chasing Lisa in my Sunday pride

You’d spin around and laugh at me

I was fast… but you were faster, see

Didn’t know much about romance

But I knew I didn’t stand a chance

Pre-Chorus

All the grown-ups probably knew

What that little boy was gonna do

Chorus

I’ve been chasing Lisa since ’six

Running in circles, pulling old tricks

From the parking lot pavement

To a lifelong commitment

Forty years and I’m still convinced

You’re the best thing I ever picked

If loving you’s a race I’ll never quit

I’ve been chasing Lisa since ’six

⸻

Verse 2

Then at fourteen — mercy me

You rolled up like a movie scene

At Jonnah’s place to go swinging

That little moped engine singing

Helmet off and there you stood

Looking way too grown and way too good

I tried to act all cool and wise

But my voice cracked three different times

Pre-Chorus

That swing set started moving slow

But my heart was ready to go

Chorus

I’ve been chasing Lisa since ’six

Heart doing backflips, nerves in a mix

From mopeds and blue jeans

To wedding rings and dreams

Forty years and here’s the fix

You still make this old heart skip

If loving you’s a race I’ll never quit

I’ve been chasing Lisa since ’six

⸻

Bridge (funny)

You caught me once — I held your hand

Thought I was the smoothest man in the land

Now forty years and look at us

Still laughing loud, still making a fuss

We’ve had our moments, that is true

But I’d still choose every one with you

If I had to start all over again

I’d tie my shoes and chase you then

⸻

Final Chorus (big and joyful)

I’ve been chasing Lisa since ’six

Through every storm and every fix

From Sunday shoes and scraped-up knees

To gray hair and anniversary keys

Forty years and I’ll admit

You’re still the girl that makes me grin

And if heaven lets me pick

I’ll be chasing Lisa forever — not just since ’six
