daddy's little girl
Daddy used to speak in riddles and rhymes
Daddy used to keep his gun on him at all times
He told me I'd be his little girl forever
Now he's in an asylum
With a broken heart
I'm daddy's little girl
Daddy taught me three things
Before they locked him away
He'd sit on the front porch swing
Every morning in May
He said
"Don't live for other people's amusement
Bless everybody and move on
And if you ever like a boy
Run away to Houston
You're daddy's little girl
And that's what you'll always be"
Daddy said he had to go to town
To get his photo taken
Tall people led him off our lawn
I sat on the front porch swing
Drinking lemonade
And I waited there
Until dawn
Daddy taught me three things
Before they locked him away
He'd sit on the front porch swing
Every morning in May
He said
"Don't live for other people's amusement
Bless everybody and move on
And if you ever like a boy
Run away to Houston
You're daddy's little girl
And that's what you'll always be"
The last time I saw him
Sitting behind a glass screen
He said "if you wanna leave this town
Go and leave me be"
He said "Houston's a nice area
The people will keep you safe"
So I booked a ticket to Texas
And I left the very next day
La la la
Daddy taught me three things
Before they locked him away
He'd sit on the front porch swing
Every morning in May
He said
"Don't live for other people's amusement
Bless everybody and move on
And if you ever like a boy
Run away to Houston
You're daddy's little girl
And that's what you'll always be
Oh, you're daddy's little girl
And that's what you'll always be
To me
Daddy used to keep his gun on him at all times
He told me I'd be his little girl forever
Now he's in an asylum
With a broken heart
I'm daddy's little girl
Daddy taught me three things
Before they locked him away
He'd sit on the front porch swing
Every morning in May
He said
"Don't live for other people's amusement
Bless everybody and move on
And if you ever like a boy
Run away to Houston
You're daddy's little girl
And that's what you'll always be"
Daddy said he had to go to town
To get his photo taken
Tall people led him off our lawn
I sat on the front porch swing
Drinking lemonade
And I waited there
Until dawn
Daddy taught me three things
Before they locked him away
He'd sit on the front porch swing
Every morning in May
He said
"Don't live for other people's amusement
Bless everybody and move on
And if you ever like a boy
Run away to Houston
You're daddy's little girl

And if you ever like a boy
Run away to Houston
You're daddy's little girl
And that's what you'll always be
Oh, you're daddy's little girl
And that's what you'll always be
To me
