lyrics

I love my tattooed honey / With an anchor on his thigh / He looks all gruff and big / But he is really soft and shy / Gives me a cool wink and a nod / When he’s a-racin’ at the track / But he ain’t ashamed / To ride as passenger in my pink Cadillac / Bet he could lift an engine block / With nothing more than just a glance / But girls, he’s mighty tender / When he pulls me in to dance / You may think he’s trouble / Lucky Strikes n’ greasy jeans / At the pub or the garage / Appearin’ ominous and mean / But what you may not realize / Is that he’s very, very sweet / He’s even sweet enough / To fix my crooked stocking seams / My man, he straightens my stockin’ seams / My man, he straightens my stockin’ seams / Callouses be damned, / And he don’t care who’s there to see / My man, he straightens my stockin’ seams / Won’t even flinch / If someone dares to call him whipped / Won’t try to hide his love for me / His only care is that I’m spoiled and content / Even if that means / He has to get down on his knees / To Straighten / Straighten my stocking seams / My man, he straightens my stockin’ seams / My man, he straightens my stockin’ seams / Callouses be damned, / And he don’t care who’s there to see / My man, he straightens my stockin’ seams
