My Daughter's Father

(앨범: Day Job - 2010)

I guess it's human nature
Tugging at my sleeve
That gets me thinking too much
'bout what I'm 'sposed to be
I keep aiming higher
Like everybody else
Forgetting what I need to be
Is just to be myself

[Chorus:]
It's not like everybody's waiting
To see if I'll go far
It's not like everybody's watching
Though sometimes I think they are
I don't have to change the world
I don't have to walk on water
All I have to be
Is my daughter's father

She's just like her mama
When it comes to me
Couldn't fool her if I tried to
To her I'll always be
Nothing more than daddy
And when she says that word
It a wonderful reminder
Of why I'm on this earth

[Repeat chorus]

A man is often measured
By what he does in life
It made mine worth living
When I realized

[Repeat chorus]

Yeah all I have to be
Is my daughter's father
