Thick Georgia Woman
Elizabeth Cook Lyrics

Thick Georgia woman, her body knows
This is describing a Georgia woman with a confident and feminine body - she knows it and owns it.

Basket of peaches under her clothes
She has curves, like the roundness of a basket of peaches, under her clothes.

She move like a razor, she'll peel your heart
She's a smooth operator and will take your heart away with her gracefulness and charm.

Thick Georgia woman, where do you start
She is multifaceted, with many interesting qualities and stories, that it's hard to know where to begin in describing her.

She's gonna lock the door, take off her bra
She's a private person who likes to be comfortable at home, and not afraid to be herself.

Call up her sister in Arkansas
She is close with her family, and has a good relationship with her sister who lives in Arkansas.

Pour her rights in jar of wine
She enjoys a good drink and will occasionally indulge in some wine.

Talk about class in decline
She is opinionated and is not afraid to discuss touchy subjects like the decline of social class.

In her chest is a treasure trove
She's got a lot going on inside of her, from her heart to her mind.

Rich as the groceries on the stove
She has riches beyond material wealth - things like love and family.

A world of hurt in disguise, happy as hell otherwise
She has had her share of tough times but does not let it get in the way of living her life to the fullest.

Stands over the sink in her weekend jeans
She's practical and doesn't care about getting dirty, hence why she might stand over the sink in jeans on the weekend.

Gotta get the sand off of them greens
She is resourceful and enjoys working with her hands and experimenting with different things in the kitchen.

One quiet look, one quiet tone
She doesn't need to speak loudly to make an impact; a look or tone of voice says it all.

A million lines though a megaphone
She could say a million things even if she's only using her voice to whisper.

Come Sunday dress, JCPenny
She's not pretentious and won't dress up for church or family gatherings.

Same top she wore to see Kevn Kinney
She's practical and doesn't feel the need to wear something different from one social event to the next.

When others leave, she just stays
She's loyal, dependable and always there for the people she loves.

You don't hear that now a days
This is a reference to the fact that people are not as loyal as they used to be and will often leave instead of staying.

What she thinks only heaven knows
She keeps things to herself and does not reveal her thoughts or emotions easily.

What she got ain't what she chose
She may not have had control over everything in her life, but she still makes the best of it and is happy with what she's got.

There's sandy land, there's southern pride
She is proud to come from the south and has a strong connection to her roots.

There's Jesus saves, there's suicide
She's cognizant of the good and bad in the world and acknowledges that there are extreme emotions that people feel, like hope and despair.

There's hair that reaches for the sky
She is confident in her appearance and may have extravagant hair that adds to her outgoing personality.

In air that don't ever dry
This is a reference to her natural beauty and her vibrancy that never fades or dries out.

A feather down place to hide
She has a soft spot where she can retreat to when feeling vulnerable or sad.

For your dream genocide
There's a potential for dream-killing situations in life, but she has found a way to protect herself from them.

It's supposed to wound, it's supposed to ache
Life can be tough, but it's supposed to be that way, with ups and downs.

It's somebody's deal you're supposed to take
Everyone has their own unique struggles, and you just have to deal with them and make the best of your situation.

Try not to judge, try not to curse
This line emphasizes that you should show compassion and kindness towards others even when things are tough.

Cry on that bible til it burst
During tough times, sometimes all you need is faith and a good cry to get through it.
