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
