Old Fashioned Girl
Jaydee Bixby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Over that mountain
Way up higher
Than I've ever been
She takes me down
Down to the water
To the river of love
Yeah and I'm jumpin' in
She's an old fashioned girl
A little bit like Mama
A little bit like Minnie Pearl
In the middle of a new
Crazy world
She's an old fashioned girl
She rolls down the road
Hand out the window
Not in a rush
Just taking her time
She ain't that worried
That there
Ain't a lot of money
She knows we?ll get buy
On just a dollar or a dime
She's an old fashioned girl
A little bit like Mama
A little but like Minnie Pearl
In the middle of a new
Crazy world
She's an old fashioned girl
Yeah the way
She looks always
Makes me smile
And the way
She loves never goes
Out of style
When my soul flies away
Over that mountain
Way up higher
Than I've ever been
I'll be looking around
For my sweet angel
And the old fashioned
That I've been livin' in
She's an old fashioned girl
A little bit like Mama
A little bit like Minnie Pearl
In the middle of a new
Crazy world
She's an old fashioned girl
A little bit like Mama
A little bit like Minnie Pearl
In the middle
Of a new crazy world
She's an old fashioned girl
She's an old fashioned girl

She flies me away
She takes me on a journey
Over that mountain
Overcoming difficulties
Way up higher
Achieving new heights
Than I've ever been
Experiencing something new
She takes me down
She brings me to a peaceful place
Down to the water
To a place of healing and rejuvenation
To the river of love
Where emotions flow freely
Yeah and I'm jumpin' in
I'm fully immersing myself in the experience
She's an old fashioned girl
Someone who embodies traditional values
A little bit like Mama
Someone who reminds him of his mother
A little bit like Minnie Pearl
Someone who has a sense of humor and authenticity
In the middle of a new
Despite the world changing around her
Crazy world
In an unpredictable world
She rolls down the road
She enjoys the simple things in life
Hand out the window
Taking things slowly and savoring the moment
Not in a rush
Taking life at her own pace
Just taking her time
Enjoying the journey and not just the destination
She ain't that worried
She is content with what she has
That there
That nothing else
Ain't a lot of money
Having little financial resources
She knows we'll get buy
Confident in their ability to survive
On just a dollar or a dime
Making the most of what they have
Yeah the way
The manner in which
She looks always
Her appearance
Makes me smile
Brings joy to his life
And the way
The manner in which
She loves never goes
Her love is enduring and unwavering
Out of style
Timeless and classic
When my soul flies away
When he leaves this world behind
I'll be looking around
Searching for something familiar
For my sweet angel
For someone who brings him comfort
And the old fashioned
The traditional values of the past
That I've been livin' in
The way he has been raised and lived
