The Old Woman In Me

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
