Lyrics
A tight little tee shirt everybody likes
A fashionable tight shirt that everyone admires.
You come from the country to dance away the night
Coming from a rural area to enjoy dancing throughout the night.
It isn't that your mama wouldn't be proud
Your mother would be proud of you.
It's only that your daddy would never live it down
Your father, however, would be embarrassed by your behavior.
Almost sweet, black peach
Describing the person as almost sweet, like a black peach.
Bold as the daylight, shooting off your mouth
Confidently expressing opinions, similar to speaking in broad daylight.
You laugh like a belle but you've never been south
Laughing with the charm of a Southern belle despite not being from the South.
Walking like a cowboy, kissing like a flame
Walking with a cowboy's swagger, kissing passionately like a flame.
You'll let him in your heart, but he'll never get your name
Being open emotionally but withholding personal details.
Almost sweet, black peach
Reiterating that the person is almost sweet, like a black peach.
It ain't where you come from, ain't where you been
Emphasizing that one's origins and past don't define them.
It ain't who you call when the clouds roll in
Suggesting that true friends are there during difficult times.
You spent all your youth crying, 'more, more, more'
Reflecting on a youth spent seeking more without clear purpose.
And now you wanna know what living's for?
Pondering the meaning of life after a carefree youth.
You'd kill for a good time, shooting from the hip
Willing to do anything for a good time, even being impulsive.
The boy got fresh and you fattened his lip
Reacting strongly when someone disrespects or challenges you.
You cut all the classes that you never liked
Skipping classes perceived as uninteresting or irrelevant.
And drove too fast before you even rode a bike
Driving recklessly before even mastering basic skills like riding a bike.
Almost sweet, black peach
Reaffirming the person's almost sweet nature, likened to a black peach.
It ain't where you come from, ain't where you been
Repeating that one's background and past don't define them.
It ain't who you call when the clouds roll in
Highlighting the importance of true friends during difficult times.
You spent all your youth crying, 'more, more, more'
Reflecting on a youth spent seeking more without clear purpose.
And now you wanna know what living's for?
Pondering the meaning of life after a carefree youth.
You can't feel the summer all year long
Expressing the need to experience both joy and hardship in life.
You gotta know the cold to know when it's gone
Understanding and appreciating difficult times to value happiness.
The only thing brighter than the sun is truth
Stating that the truth shines brighter than the sun.
And only one time were you ever given proof
Recalling a specific moment when truth was evident.
Almost sweet, black peach
Reiterating the person's almost sweet nature, like a black peach.
Almost sweet, black peach
Continuing to emphasize the person's sweetness.
Almost sweet, black peach
Repeating the description of the person as almost sweet, a black peach.
You're my black peach
Affirming that the person is special, using the metaphor of a black peach.
