The Girl I Was

She was a hometown, hair-down, hand-out-the-window

Blue jean baby, FFA

Sunday morning, breakin' cornbread with her kinfolk

Wasn't worried 'bout anything

Free as a Texas tumbleweed

Wild, like a Wichita wind

Been forever ago since she came home

But damn, it's good to see her again

She looks like she used to look, right now

Out there livin' it up

There's a spark in her eyes, some heart in her smile that I ain't seen in awhile

It's almost like she never left at all

Don't she look good in them boots?

She's doing alright, it's about damn time

Lord, ain't that the truth

I'm finally lookin' in the mirror and seein' that me I love

I'm gettin' back to the girl I was

The girl I was was a big sky dreamer

Never heard of too much fun

No fear, two beer, do-anythinger

Go up and talk to anyone

Her mama was her best friend

Yeah, that girl was always laughin'

She looks like she used to look, right now

Out there livin' it up

There's a spark in her eyes, some heart in her smile that I ain't seen in awhile

It's almost like she never left at all

Don't she look good in them boots?

She's doing alright, it's about damn time

Lord, ain't that the truth

I'm finally lookin' in the mirror and seein' that me I love

I'm gettin' back to the girl I was

Before he broke my heart

Before I had to ride away

Before life got so hard

Back in the good ol' days

She looks like she used to look right now

Out there livin' it up

There's a spark in her eyes, some heart in her smile that I ain't seen in awhile

It's almost like she never left at all

Don't she look good in them boots?

She's doing alright, it's about damn time

Lord, ain't that the truth

I'm finally lookin' in the mirror and seein' that me I love

I can't believe I ever thought she wasn't good enough

I'm gettin' back to the girl I was
