Jenna Paulette - The Girl I Was (Official Music Video)

Keep up with Jenna Paulette:

LYRICS:
She was a hometown, hair down, hand out the window
Blue jean baby, FFA
Sunday morning breaking 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 looking in the mirror and seein' that me I love
I’m getting 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 momma was her best friend
Yeah that girl was always laughing

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 a while
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 looking in the mirror and seein' that me I love
Im getting 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 ole 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 a while
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 looking in the mirror and seein' that me I love
I can’t believe I ever thought she wasn’t good enough
I’m getting back to the girl I was

It took years. But with Jesus and his grace alone. Jesus rescued me. The little girl I needed to rescue from my past is back! ❤✝️

[SarahMcCormick-tp]

Crying into my pancakes. Such a good song. I pray I can get back to the girl I was..i lost her so long ago. 💔

[Mustanger]

Needed this song right now. It's a rough road getting back to who you used to be and being happy again.

[PincheChineaux]

Best song I have heard in a very long while. Thank you

Her Mama was her best friend 😢
That was so true. My mom passed Feb 9th, 2017. She left such a huge legacy for her children and we miss her terribly. Losing her hurt worse than anything of the crap I've been through. I just loved that woman dearly 😢 one of my last good memories with her was taking my horse driving. My mom was seated next to me as we trotted quickly up a dirt mountain road with the rockies in full view. She looked over at me and said, "I can see why you like this. It's so peaceful." I'm going to sit on my horse today (Feb 9th, 2024) to remember her and hopefully feel some of that peace she spoke about back then. ❤ ya mom. If I ever have a little girl I'm naming her Patricia after you.

I’m an old lady now but I’m just betting I’ll meet her again one day. You have a wonderful song young Lady🥰🫶🏻

[johnnydodgecountry]

You sound fantastic...and even if something doesn't break for you on a big level, which unfortunately happens to a lot of incredible artists, you'll definitely have your writing as an option. Your songs are radio ready, now. Nice job, Jenna !

[tonytiger]

Awesome video! She's the real deal & a great boost to Country Music, that desperately needs this lady! I hope Nashville is paying attention to her! Because the fans are!

[LillianYoung-tm]

Haven’t even gotten halfway and I’m already in tears. Just speechless 😶 ❤ just called in hospice for the greatest father in law God created. This is hittin’! Thank you 🙏 it’s beautiful 😢❤

[rockpaperscissors]

The album is great from beginning to end -- love the variety -- and this is one of the album's best songs. You need to come to North Carolina!

[lindagatwiri]

This song made me emotional, I havent been myself for the better part of 2024, my empathetic nature made me get lost in other people's world and that made me forget myself and sapped all the joy from me but I've finally cut myself from those people and I'm finally getting back to my old self, I've silenced her for quite abit.I am happy and at peace right now

[sherrygreiner]

I love this song! I’m about 1300 miles from TN, stuck next to Canada, in a small town & I am a huge fan of yours! Your music is so amazing! Keep writing and singing Jenna cuz your the real deal!!😊

This song is so sad. At 31 years old, I feel this with my entire soul. 🩷
