Like A Lady
Southern Charm: Living by Momma's Rules
Lyrics
There was a drop top at the Quick Stop
Describing a convertible car at a Quick Stop
The front plate said Cali
The license plate indicates it's from California
A little bayside queen in skinny jeans
Referring to a girl from the bay area in tight jeans
Probably passing through Greene County
Suggesting she's just passing through Greene County
She climbed out of the driver's side
The girl gets out of the driver's side of the car
And I was thinking that's one sweet ride
Expressing admiration for the car
I held the door to the store as she walked inside
Politely holding the store door for the girl
And she said awe that's nice
Her response, expressing appreciation
My boots may be a little muddy
Acknowledging that boots are a bit muddy
The way I'm talking might sound funny
Acknowledging a distinctive way of talking
But I was kind of hoping that you could see through
Expressing hope for understanding differences
Me being different from what you're used to
Desire for the girl to see beyond stereotypes
I'm just trying to live like momma raised me
Expressing a desire to live by mother's teachings
Treat a girl like a lady
The central theme: treating a girl with respect
She said I'm new here, I just moved here
The girl reveals she's new to the area
Think you could show me some backroads
Asking to explore local backroads together
I said sure thing, I'll bring my six string
Offering to play music for her
Play a song or two that you know
Suggesting playing songs familiar to her
I want to learn all about you girl
Expressing a genuine interest in getting to know her
What's behind those pretty curls
Curious about the girl's background and personality
I'm like country gravel, you're a city pearl
Highlighting differences in their backgrounds
We come from different worlds
Acknowledging the contrast in their origins
My boots may be a little muddy
Reiteration of muddy boots and unique way of talking
The way I'm talking might sound funny
Reiterating the hope for understanding differences
But I was kind of hoping that you could see through
Reiterating the desire for mutual understanding
Me being different from what you're used to
Reiterating the plea to see beyond stereotypes
I'm just trying to live like momma raised me
Reiteration of living by mother's values
Treat a girl like a lady
Reaffirming the central theme of treating a girl respectfully
My boots may be a little muddy
Reiteration of muddy boots and unique way of talking
The way I'm talking might sound funny
Reiterating the hope for understanding differences
But I was kind of hoping that you could see through
Reiterating the desire for mutual understanding
Me being different from what you're used to
Reiterating the plea to see beyond stereotypes
I'm just trying to live like momma raised me
Reiteration of living by mother's values
Treat a girl like a lady
Reaffirming the central theme of treating a girl respectfully
Like a lady, like a lady
Emphasizing the message of treating a girl like a lady
Treat a girl like a lady
Reaffirming the central theme of treating a girl respectfully
Like a lady, like a lady
Repeating the emphasis on treating a girl like a lady
