Stacy (Man of the Land and Heart of Gold) lyrics by seronami

You don’t see many fellas like Stacy anymore
Though you’ll definitely be glad you did

Stacy’s up with the first bird call
Coffee strong, and coveralls on
Boots by the door, garden wide awake
Tomatoes lined like soldiers by the gate

He’s got hands like bark and a heart like bread
Knows when to speak, and when to spread
Beans in the pot, deer at the blind
He don’t say much, but he’s always kind

He’s a hunter, a gardener, a man of the land
Got a green thumb and a calloused hand
Ain’t scared of nothin’, well, that’s a fib
‘Cause a spider web’ll make him dance a jig
Talks to strangers like they’re old friends
Sends ‘em off with tomatoes in the end
„Take two, got extra!”

At the gas pump, or the county store
He’ll talk till your cart can’t hold no more
Walk away with stories and a jar or two
And no clue how you met, but glad you do

He’ll fix that thing you can’t explain
Won’t ask for much but maybe your name
Got a way of showin’ up just right
Like sunrise after a heavy night

Tried to light the stove, but the logs said „nope”
So he grabbed some kerosene for a lil’ more hope
Gave it a splash (glug glug) gave it a flick
Then, KA-BOOM!, he was airborne quick!

Out the door he flew with a singed ol’ beard
Family thought it was worse than they feared
But he stood back up with a grin ear to ear
„Guess I’ll just eat cold chili with beer!”

He don’t wear medals or speak real loud
But he’s the first to lift when life’s weighed down
He’s steady like roots in well-worked clay
One of the good ones they don’t make today

He’s a hunter, a gardener, a man of the land
Got a heart full of stories and a weathered hand
Ain’t scared of nothin’, well, not quite
One spider string and he’s gone from sight
But he’ll hand you hope in a mason jar
And treat your worries like they ain’t that far
Stacy’s the kind who’ll always show
And leave the world better than he knows

Yeah, we’re real lucky he’s one of our own
That man of the land, with a heart full of gold
