The Girl I Knew

Written by Tyler Porter

Verse 1
I see you over there sippin' Titos
You used to be a whiskey girl
I see you wearing those stilettos
Used to be boots or sandals

Pre Chorus
Alot must've went down
You seem alot different now
Wonder what happened to you
Once you left this town

Chorus
Did you catch a west coast high
Did you meet an L.A. guy
Are you tryna fit in out there
So you went and died your hair
Something had to happen
Cuz I've never seen ya like this
Yea I'm looking at you from across the room
But baby that aint the girl I knew

Nah that aint the girl I knew

Verse 2
Yea the girl I knew was so careless
Brown hair in the wind like her sundress
She wouldn't be trying to impress
Everybody at the table she met

Pre Chorus
She was living her best life
and I loved her blue-eyes
But that aint who I'm
Looking at tonight

Chorus
Did you catch a west coast high
Did you meet an L.A. guy
Are you tryna fit in out there
So you went and died your hair
Something had to happen
Cuz I've never seen ya like this
Yea I'm looking at you from across the room
But baby that aint the girl I knew

Nah that aint the girl I knew

Bridge

We used to burn up the back roads
With cold beer and reds
Now your acting like you don't know
Like we never met
Chorus
Did you catch a west coast high
Did you meet an L.A. guy
Are you tryna fit in out there
So you went and died your hair
Something had to happen
Cuz I've never seen ya like this
Yea I'm looking at you from across the room
But baby that aint the girl I knew

Nah that aint the girl I knew
