From the recording Going Places
Lyrics
Old Soul Girl
V1: She’s seventeen and rides to school on a sea green scooter
Her friends all liked the blue but she said this one’s cuter
In the knapsack on her back she carries A’s and B’s
Beneath her helmet…hair spills out and plays upon the breeze
CH: She’s an old soul girl living in a modern world
She has hits from the 1940's on her MP3
She named her spiffy chariot after her Great-Aunt Harriett
And she’ll wear a calico ribbon in her hair today
V2: She has a beau his name is Joe and he’s the pep band drummer
There’s never any pressure and they met last summer
He opens all the doors for her and knows that she’s a keeper
Every time he looks at her she falls a little deeper
CH: She’s an old soul girl living in a modern world
She has hits from the 1940's on her MP3
She named her spiffy chariot after her Great-Aunt Harriett
And she’ll wear a calico ribbon in her hair today
Bridge: She can see in color, they’re all black and white
CH: She’s an old soul girl living in a modern world
She has hits from the 1940's on her MP3
She named her spiffy chariot after her Great-Aunt Harriett
And she’ll wear a calico ribbon in her hair today
