Black Peach - The Elms

A tight little tee shirt everybody likes

You come from the country to dance away the night

It isn’t that your mama wouldn’t be proud

It’s only that your daddy would never live it down

Almost sweet, black peach

Bold as the daylight, shooting off your mouth

You laugh like a belle but you’ve never been south

Walking like a cowboy, kissing like a flame

You’ll let him in your heart, but he’ll never get your name

Almost sweet, black peach

It ain’t where you come from, ain’t where you been

It ain’t who you call when the clouds roll in

You spent all your youth saying, More, more, more

And now you wanna know what living’s for

You’d kill for a good time, shooting from the hip

The boy got fresh, and you fattened his lip

You cut all the classes that you never liked

And drove too fast before you even rode a bike

Almost sweet, black peach

It ain’t where you come from, ain’t where you been

It ain’t who you call when the clouds roll in

You spent all your youth saying, More, more, more

And now you wanna know what living’s for

You can’t feel the summer all year long

You gotta know the cold to know when it’s gone

The only thing brighter than the sun is truth

And only one time were you ever given proof

Almost sweet, black peach
