See You In Church
Southern Girl Confessions: Living Life on a Rhythm
Lyrics
Short skirt, long tan legs
Reference to physical appearance, suggesting attractiveness.
That's what every man wants
Desire for a woman with a short skirt and long tan legs.
That's what everybody says
Common societal expectation and desire.
And a good girl in the kitchen too
Describes being a good girl with domestic skills.
Knows a good pie, knows a good brew
Further highlights domestic skills and culinary knowledge.
Well, I've got all of that
Claiming possession of the desirable qualities mentioned.
I'm like a Grace Kelly in a cowboy hat
Combines elegance (Grace Kelly) with a hint of wildness (cowboy hat).
But a little extra party in my attitude
Expresses a lively and carefree personality.
Make you wanna say that you love me too soon
Suggests a charming demeanor that quickly attracts affection.
My mama told me not to pray this
Recalls advice from the speaker's mother.
Oh, I'm a hot mess singing my praises
Acknowledges flaws while celebrating them.
Now God forgive me if I say this
Seeking forgiveness for potential wrongdoing.
My confession, the southern girl way is
Acknowledges a confession made in a typical southern manner.
Monday, new dress, real tight
Describes a week's schedule, balancing social and religious activities.
Tuesday, wearing my shades inside
-Wednesday, someone pass the lime
-On my pre-game for a Thursday night
-Friday, gonna meet some men
-Saturday kissin' on my new boyfriend
-Sunday, yeah, the Lord comes first
-If I missed ya last night, oh, then I'll see you in church
-Raise a little hell, have a good time
Portrays a lively and carefree lifestyle with a sense of punctuality.
Scuffing our boots at the county line
-Never turn in on a Friday night
-Never missin' him 'cause I'm always on time
-Now God forgive me if I say this
Reiteration of the southern confession style.
My confession, the southern girl way is
-Monday, new dress, real tight
Repeats the weekly schedule with an emphasis on religious commitment.
Tuesday, wearing my shades inside
-Wednesday, someone pass the lime
-On my pre-game for a Thursday night
-Friday, gonna meet some men
-Saturday kissin' on my new boyfriend
-Sunday, yeah, the Lord comes first
-If I missed ya last night, then I'll see you in church
-Oh, I'll see you in church, oh
Reaffirms the intention to meet at church.
Hallelujah, amen
Invocation and acknowledgment of a higher power.
Good Lord, here I go again
-Hallelujah, amen
-That's right, here I go again
-Monday, new dress, real tight
Final repetition of the weekly schedule and commitment to church.
Tuesday, wearing my shades inside
-Wednesday, someone pass the lime
-On my pre-game for a Thursday night
-Friday, gonna meet some men
-Saturday kissin' on my new boyfriend
-Sunday, yeah, the Lord comes first
-If I missed ya last night, then I'll see you in church
