Pin-Up Daddy

Momma used to paint my cheeks rosy red
Teased my hair as high as the mountains for the county pageants
Twisting both my ankles just to lose the beauty contest
Mamma never said I was second-best
She loved her tomboy in a sequin dress

Cried the first time dad looped a tie around my neck
Part of me I thought had died rose up to the surface
And on my birthday gave me a suit that fit just right
I felt like his little girl and a young man at the same time

No matter what side of the bed I wake up on today
I still rise, I'm alive, I am everything
I don't give a fuck what the world thinks they're looking at
I'm a pin-up daddy
Twirling in my heels with my hair slicked back

Used to feel like a guest in my own body
'Till I peeled back the wallpaper and I found a silver lining
My eyes are no longer vacant like a haunted house
I switched on all the lights once I met myself

No matter what side of the bed I wake up on today
I still rise, I'm alive, I am everything
I don't give a fuck what the world thinks they're looking at
'Cause I'm a pin up daddy
Twirling in my heels with my hair slicked back

No matter what side of the bed I wake up on today
I still rise, I'm alive, I am everything
I don't give a fuck what the world thinks they're looking at
'Cause I'm a pin up daddy
Twirling in my heels with my hair slicked back
