My Father’s Daughter |
She stepped off of the boat to see flowers in his hands |
The man she would marry was as hard as the mountains |
She had his children in a log cabin |
Soon I’d be another star in this family’s constellation |
In the land of the midnight sun |
Searching for gold |
I am my father’s daughter |
He has his mother’s eyes |
I am the product of her sacrifice |
I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations |
And their stories live in me like holy water |
I am my father’s daughter |
My father raised me in an old log cabin |
And he sang for me the songs his mother sang to him |
In honky-tonks, and empty bars, just me and him |
And that old guitar |
He passed on a legacy wrapped up in a melody |
And I carry on |
Searching for gold |
I am my father’s daughter |
I have his eyes |
I am the product of his sacrifice |
I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations |
And their stories live in my like holy water |
I am my father’s daughter |
And every time I step on stage |
And the music finds me |
I don’t need gold to remind me |
I am my father’s daughter |
I have my Grandma’s eyes |
I am the product of such sacrifice |
I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations |
And their stories live in me like holy water |
I am my father’s daughter |
Oh, I am my father’s daughter |
