The Old Woman in Me Songtext
von Lori McKenna

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 lived, says it made her the woman she is

The old woman in me, she don't wanna go back in time
Thinks her '50s might have been her prime, says don′t give up on that man of mine
She′s good at listening, says kiss 'em 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-regret-er, yeah, a ggood forgiver, yeah
And where she′s worn around the edges, go on and let her be
She's peace in a housedress, 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 regret-er, yeah, a good forgiver, yeah
And where she′s worn around the edges, go on and let her be
She's peace in a housedress, an′ I'm a work in progress
I hope someday I get to be the old woman in me

The old woman in me sits on a front porch swing
Watching her grandkids play, dreaming ′bout yesterday
Yesterday
