Jamie McDell, OurVinyl - Mother's Daughter (OurVinyl Sessions) Lyrics

I saw you cry when I was seventeen
You saw my father’s stubborn heart in me
You had the dream, the house, the dress was made
Then someone else’s ship took me away

If I lose in the long run, then I lost it my own way
There’s some truths that can’t be undone
It’s the price I’ve always paid
Just like he taught her
I am my mother’s daughter

I saw you cry when I was seventeen
You said daddy broke us down with his big dream
I roll the dice on chances just like him
But the tallest trees still bend in the wind

If I lose in the long run, then I lost it my own way
There’s some truths that can’t be undone
It’s the price I’ve always paid
Just like he taught her
I am my mother’s daughter

You saw me cry when I was seventeen
It was then you knew the road ahead of me

If I lose in the long run, then I lost it my own way
There’s some truths that can’t be undone
It’s the price I’ve always paid
Just like he taught her
I am my mother’s daughter
Just like he taught her
I am my mother’s daughter
