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 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
