daddy i told you

daddy i told you i was gonna fly

i'd get out of that town alive

don't worry

i kept your name and your picture in a frame

just like you

i got a lot in my heart

it won't let me fall apart

i'll always be your little girl

i love you more than this whole world

and daddy i told you

remember how you made me sing them hymns on the back porch?

daddy

don't you know i'm carrying your spirit like a torch?

daddy i told you i was gonna fly

i'd get out of that town alive

don't worry

i kept your name and your picture in a frame

just like you

i got a lot in my heart

it won't let me fall apart

i'll always be your little girl

i love you more than this whole world

and daddy i told you

brothers having babies

mama's getting strong

things are changng

daddy i thank you

knew it all along

i keep chasing down a dream

it's bigger than you and me

daddy i told you i was gonna fly

i'd get out of that town alive

don't worry

i kept your name and your picture in a frame

just like you

i got a lot in my heart

it won't let me fall apart

i'll always be your little girl

i love you more than this whole world

and daddy i told you
