Nields - Georgia O lyrics

rate me

Driving into Santa Fe<br />

Dreaming of the day I'll make it mine<br />

That day is coming<br />

<br />

Ani DiFranco on the tape player<br />

Thinking of the things I'd say to her if I could<br />

But I just keep humming<br />

<br />

Girl you've got some nerve<br />

Taking everything that you deserve<br />

Touching all the places that are yours<br />

And touching all the bases as you score<br />

<br />

Oh, Georgia O, Georgia O<br />

Oh, Georgia O, Georgia O<br />

I wanna be a woman like you, yeah<br />

<br />

Found a place to call my home<br />

It's not much but it's my own<br />

It's mine--but I let you in<br />

<br />

Your pictures hang on every wall<br />

Sort of show you standing straight and tall<br />

While you look through him<br />

<br />

I light a candle then I call your name<br />

You reach me through your veil of death and fame<br />

You reach me through your flowers and your bones<br />

And I swear to God I swear I'm not alone<br />

<br />

Oh, Georgia O, Georgia O<br />

Oh, Georgia O, Georgia O<br />

I wanna be a woman like you<br />

I wanna be a woman like...<br />

<br />

I dip my cup into your holy spring<br />

The diva takes a breath and then she's singing<br />

I rub my hand on your Rosetta Stone<br />

A little flower power of my own<br />

Yeah, a little flower power of my own<br />

<br />

Oh, Georgia O, Georgia O<br />

Oh, Georgia O, Georgia O<br />

Oh, Georgia O, Georgia O<br />

Oh, Georgia O, Georgia O<br />

I wanna be a woman like you<br />

I wanna be a woman like me
