Father's Daughter

(album: Everything's Gonna Be Alright - 2021)

He was one of six on a dairy
Never knew his daddy so that musta been hard
Shipped out at eighteen, you gotta fight for what you believe in
Oh, he was born to hit the road
With that big old Texas soul

His heart is vast and wild, Bluebonnets in a field
But that man's just like an old mule, his will is made of steel
And my blood runs just like his does, whiskey with a splash of holy water
I was born to be my father's daughter

He says the grass ain't greener on the other side
Bloom where you are girl, you're one of a kind
Sing songs, play at bars, 'cause fame don't come by wishing on a star
Well, he's a shoulder I can cry on
And he shows me how to be strong

His heart is vast and wild, Bluebonnets in a field
But that man's just like an old mule, his will is made of steel
And my blood runs just like his does, whiskey with a splash of holy water
I was born to be my father's daughter

My roots run deep and rivers run free
If you would know him, you'd know me

His heart is vast and wild, Bluebonnets in a field
But that man's just like an old mule, his will is made of steel
And my blood runs just like his does, whiskey with a splash of holy water
I was born to be my father's daughter
To be my father's daughter
Oh, my father's daughter
