Lyrics
Jersey Girl
© 2006 lyric & melody by Anni Lichty
She was scheduled to arrive on the 5th of July
She had a mind of her own 'fore she had her first cry
Graced this world with her presence seven days late
It was love at first sight - her dad was wrapped around her finger
Grandpa just smiled and said yep, she's a keeper
Mama held her close said girl, you were worth the wait
Jersey got here not a hurry in the world and it was perfectly clear
They'd spend the next twenty-somethin' years waitin' on Jersey girl
Jersey takes it easy 'cause that girl learned she could take her own sweet time
If she could keep the little boys taking their turn saving her a place at the front of the line
She's got a sense of timing that couldn't be beat - always the last to arrive with a front row seat
She keeps everyone in her little world waitin' on Jersey Girl
Mama said Jersey don't make people wait
Jersey said mom it's called fashionably late
She never wore a watch - said time was always on her side
Jersey didn't drive 'til she was nineteen
Ask her why - she'll say she just didn't see the need
When the guys were always waiting around just to give her a ride
She's got no fear - not a worry in the world and it's perfectly clear
Why everybody 'round here loves waitin' on Jersey girl
Jersey takes it easy 'cause that girl learned she could take your own sweet time
As long as she could keep the boys taking their turn saving her a place at the front of the line
She's got a sense of timing that couldn't be beat - always the last to arrive with a front row seat
She keeps everyone in her little world waitin' on Jersey Girl
Brought a boy home from college - had a ring on her hand
Her dad said son you sure that you understand
Exactly what it is you're getting yourself into
He said I know you've got your doubts sir but take it from me
I can't live without her she's all that I need
So tell me just exactly what it is that I've got to do
To spend the rest - the best of my years waitin' on Jersey Girl
I said Jersey takes it easy, Jersey takes it slow, Jersey takes her own sweet time
Well I'm gonna be the one from now on saving her a place at the front of the line
She's got a sense of timing that couldn't be beat - she stole my heart and knocked me off of my feet
Gotta be a part of her world - gotta make her my Jersey Girl
I'm gonna be a part of her world - gonna make her my Jersey Girl
She was scheduled to arrive the last day of the year
Had a mind of her own before she cried her first tear
Graced this world with her presence seven days late
