Staci's Not Ready
Headlights flashing in the daylight
Paperback scenes at the bar
Farther than yesterday's memories
That for a minute didn't seem that far
She was headed for Hollywood
Said she'd send us a pic from the sign
Then she said her ex-boyfriend was waiting outside
Staci's not ready for a full-blown revolution (whoa, whoa, whoa)
She caught the priest out back, he was dishing out absolutions (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Now she's getting ready for a shotgun wedding
She was two months late, and she got sick of waiting
Put a ring on her finger and another in her nose
At least that's the story she told, alright
She got with a dealer, it was back in the day
He got sent up the river, so she made her escape
A few towns later she found herself here
Batting her eyes and pouring beers
She was some kind of mystic
Maybe she was sent as a sign
We said, "Never mind your ex-boyfriend we'll give you a ride"
Staci's not ready for a full-blown revolution (whoa, whoa, whoa)
She caught the priest out back, he was dishing out absolutions (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Now she's getting ready for a shotgun wedding
She was two months late, and she got sick of waiting
Put a ring on her finger and another in her nose
At least that's the story she told
Magic in one hand, death in the air
One more round, and baby we won't care
Just after closing, a little too far
Goddamn we gotta get outta this bar, yeah
