Girl She Used to Be - Chatham County Line

Know her when she was just so tall

Back when she was belle of the ball

Now she is a woman all but grown

Know her when she was just so tall

Back when she was belle of the ball

Now she is a woman all but grown

Who knows the things are rising on

She’s a woman now

Somehow I’m gonna get her back

The girl she used to be

Met again in our college years

Back when the moral had no fear

She once placed flowers in her hair

But now a shade of gray is all that’s there

She’s a woman now

Somehow I’m gonna get her back

The girl she used to be

Love the sense of first good walk

She is the reason I first could talk

Hold her hand when she gets scared

And for a moment the child is there

Afraid of what tomorrow bring

Like late at night the phone does ring

She toss and turn throughout the night

Who knows the cause of all that fright

She’s a woman now

Somehow I’m gonna get her back

The girl she used to be

She’s a woman now

Somehow I’m gonna get her back

The girl she used to be
