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
