Tag: Number One Southern Girl song

  • Southern Girl Song #1

    The number one, absolute best song of all time about Southern girls goes to Lynyrd Skynyrd for “Georgia Peaches”. This band is about as Southern as they get. Formed in Jacksonville, Fla., in the 1960s, Lynyrd Skynyrd rose to fame touring throughout the South.

    “Georgia Peaches” is the title track on their album Legend (released in 1987 containing all demos and EPs from the band). Legend contains songs from the bands glory years (1973 – 1977) before the tragic plane crash outside Greenville, S.C. In 2001, the album Street Survivors was reissued featuring “Georgia Peaches” as a bonus track.

    Well you can see her walkin’ down on Peachtree Street
    She got high-heeled shoes and a dot on her cheek
    Well she’s lookin’ good, she’s headed downtown
    A’int got no money, honey, she knows her way around

    I think she’s cute, think she’s cute as she can be
    Talkin’ about a funny talkin’, hony tonking Georgia Peach

    Well these Georgia Peaches, son, they know their way around
    Take your money, son, before you gets outta town
    Well they talk a little funny, but they look so fine
    Yes, nine out of ten of them gonna sell you a dime

    I think they’re cute, think they’re cute as they can be (ooh yeah!)
    I’m talkin’ about a funny talkin’, hony tonking Georgia Peach

    Well peaches, peaches
    Love them Georgia Peaches
    Peaches, peaches
    Love them Georgia Peaches!

    Well them Georgia Peaches, they sure do got style
    They gonna steal your heart, with a Southern smile
    Well they talk a little funny, but they look so fine
    Older they get, Lord, I swear it’s like good wine

    I think they’re cute, think they’re cute as they can be
    Talkin’ about a funny talkin’, hony tonking Georgia Peach
