Never underestimate the love and determination of a single mother.

Lyricist on an endless quest for the perfect melody.
I'm afraid I can't claim to be a band, although I have been known to jump on a bandwagon from time to time. No, I'm just a humble lyricist who is in absolute awe of the composers who have stumbled into my life and bothered to wrap a melody around some of my words. I've been attempting to legitimately call myself a lyricist since I was about 14 years old. Have a listen, won't you, and let me know if I qualify.

Lyrics
Doin’ It All For Lacey © 2011 Greg C. Brown/Janice Hopkins/Mark D. Preston She left school at seventeen With only a year to go Fell in love and that was all She thought she’d ever have to know Her little baby girl was born The same year Bobby up and left Now she’s working part time jobs Barely getting’ a moment’s rest She comes home, tired and sore….never wonders why Chorus: ‘Cause she’s Doin’ It All For Lacey It’s why she wakes up every day Waiting tables, 9 to 5 Mopping floors for minimum wage Yeah, she finds her inspiration In a pink room across the hall The reason she lives and breathes She’s doin’ it all…..Doin’ It All For Lacey They always have enough to eat Buy clothes at the Goodwill store Says, “Baby girl, stay in school” You deserve a whole lot more “This world is not an easy place There's always a hill to climb But, I want the path you choose to walk To be a smoother one than mine” Still she comes home, tired and sore….never wonders why Repeat Chorus: Bridge: Her hands are calloused, her knees are worn On a hot, June graduation day Tears of hard work turn into pride As her Lacey takes the stage Chorus: Yeah, she’s Doin’ It All For Lacey It’s why she wakes up every day Waiting tables, 9 to 5 Mopping floors for minimum wage Yeah, she finds her inspiration In a pink room across the hall The reason she lives and breathes She’s doin’ it all…..Doin’ It All For Lacey
