Daddy didn't make me feel small, go to sleep man
Never once heard Benham in his voice
Daddy didn't set the bar low, to my words out
Like I was static, lost in the noise
If you're asking me, he hung the moon
And here's another thing he didn't do
Daddy didn't let his little girl think this
big old world didn't come with guys like you
He kissed me goodbye,
the day I left home Prayed me one of his prayers,
gave me one
of his guns Knowing one day I'd meet a man who's everything
he isn't
I gave you my heart, you drug it around
I should've seen it coming but looking back now
You and me didn't stand a chance from the damn
beginning You've been doing things Daddy didn't
Daddy never made mama wonder where the hell
he was On the nights he had to come home late
Daddy wouldn't be too proud to
apologize Knowing whose heart's at stake
He won't have the chance to look you in
the eye But I bet he had you on his mind
When he kissed me goodbye,
the day I left home Prayed me one of his prayers,
gave me one of his guns
Knowing one day I'd meet a man who's everything he isn't
I gave you my heart,
you drug it around I should've seen it coming but looking back now
You and me didn't stand a chance from the damn
beginning You've been doing things Daddy didn't
Not Daddy didn't
He kissed me goodbye,
the day I left home Prayed me one of his prayers,
gave me one of his guns
Knowing one day I'd leave a man who's everything he isn't
I gave you my heart,
you drug it around I should've seen it coming but looking back now
You and me didn't stand a chance from the damn beginning
No,
we didn't stand a chance from the damn beginning
You've been doing things Daddy didn't
Daddy didn't
