Old Me

(album: Making It Up As I Go - 2023)

Don't pack a bag if you been drinking
Don't discount what mama has to say
And you can do it all
But don't be afraid to call
And say you need a breath and a break

I know you feel alone all by yourself
And all those lonely thoughts can feel like hell
When your dreams are moving slow
These are the times you grow
Girl, take it from me, I oughta know

Dear old me
You're a gypsy
That ain't gonna change
But you will in different ways
Life gets hard
You'll get scars
But you'll put it back
Together when it breaks
You'll win some
You'll lose some
Get knocked down
Get back up
I know it doesn't feel like it today
But dear old me, the new you turns out okay

I know you tend to lie awake at night
You just want a moment to rest your mind
But when you're losing sleep, God is working underneath
And using you to touch so many lives

Dear old me
You're a gypsy
That ain't gonna change
But you will in different ways
Life gets hard
You'll get scars
But you'll put it back
Together when it breaks
You'll win some
You'll lose some
Get knocked down
Get back up
I know it doesn't feel like it today
But dear old me, the new you turns out okay

Dear old me
May 20th is gonna be hard one
But I promise you'll rebuild
And I know you're still hurt over your first love
You don't get it now
But you will
And Valentine's 2022
It'll never be the same
But you'll still have a hand to hold
And trust me, it'll be okay

Dear old me
You're a gypsy
That ain't gonna change
But you will in different ways
Life gets hard
You'll get scars
But you'll put it back
Together when it breaks
You'll win some
You'll lose some
Get knocked down
Get back up
I know it doesn't feel like it today
But dear old me, the new you turns out okay
