rissi palmer - old black southern woman lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i wanna be an old, black, southern woman
the kind my mother never got to be
i want a hat for every sunday to block out all the sun rays
a hug for everybody that i see
i wanna sit out on my porch and drink my coffee
smell the sweet magnolia on the breeze
walking barefoot in my garden, at peace and open+hearted
telling stories while i’m sh+lling peas

[refrain]
i wanna see my daughters thrive
and look their babies in the eyes

[verse 2]
i wanna be an old, black, southern woman
the kind that has no secrets left to keep
i wanna give you all my wisdom, my motherwit and then some
so you don’t make the same mistakes as me
i wanna love and honor every wrinkle
every sterling strand of silver in my hair
embrace my rolls and all my softness, enjoy myself and care less
sit unbothered in my rocking chair

[refrain]
i wanna see my daughters thrive
and look their babies in the eyes
[verse 3]
i wanna be an old, black, southern woman
the kind my mother never got to be
i wanna honor her by healing, trusting and believing
that every curse my family claimed ends with me

[refrain]
i wanna see my daughters thrive
and look their babies in the eyes
she should’ve seen her daughter thrive
and looked my babies in the eyes

[outro]
i wanna be an old, black, southern woman
