Kellie Pickler - Fancy lyrics

I remember it all very well lookin' back

It was the summer i turned eighteen

We lived in a one room, rundown shack

On the outskirts of new orleans

We didn't have money for food or rent

To say the least we were hard pressed

And mama'd spent every last penny we had

To buy me a dancin' dress

She said here's your one chance fancy don't let me down

Here's your one chance fancy don't let me down

I knew what i had to do and i made myself this

Solemn vow

I's gonna be a lady someday although i didn't know when or how

But i couldn't see spending the rest of my life

With my head hung down in shame

You know i might have been born just plain white trash

But fancy was my name

She said here's your one chance fancy don't let me down

Here's your one chance fancy don't let me down

Lord, forgive me for what i do

But if you want out well it's up to you

Now don't let me down, no

You mama's gonna move you uptown

Lord, forgive me for what i do

But if you want out well it's up to you

Now don't let me down, no

You mama's gonna move you uptown

But fancy was my name
