The Old Woman In Me

Lyrics

The old woman in me thinks I look good in these jeans She remembers what her body did, carrying all those kids She's narrowed down the truth She don't even dye her roots She's proud of the life she lives Sees it made her the woman she is The old woman in me, she don't wanna go back in time Thinks her fifties might've been her prime Says, don't give up on that man of mine She's good at listening Says, kiss him every time a kid walks in Remember what your heart is for And you won't have to ask for more She's a no-regretter Yeah, God forgive her Yeah, where she's worn around the edges Go on and let her be She's peace in a house dress I'm a work in progress I hope someday I get to be the old woman in me The old woman in me never made herself an enemy Took a while and finally found her faith Says, everybody makes mistakes She'll smile and look you in the eye Say I love you too many times Yeah, but she don't apologize For all that love She's a no-regretter Yeah, God forgive her Yeah, where she's worn around the edges Go on and let her be She's peace in a house dress I'm a work in progress I hope someday I get to be the old woman in me, yeah The old woman in me sits on the front porch swing Watching her grandkids play Dreaming 'bout yesterday Yesterday
