JR Nash - Daddy's Girl Lyrics

Since you been home mommy and dad ain’t been resting
But I ain't complaining cause I know that God sent a blessing
It seems like yesterday when we found out your mom was pregnant
We were excited but she was nervous to tell her parents
Cause we didn’t know how they’ll react
But in fact, they were just as happy so that was that
The first person I told about you was your Uncle Mac
Then I told your aunt and your grandma right after that
I remember going to those visits
Hoping you’ll finally show your face but you never did it
But who we're kidding, you your father's child
You move at your own pace, run in your own race
Explore in your own space, eat from your own plate
Remember being at the reveal wearing that blue
But deep down in my heart when that ball dropped I always hoped for you
I must be the luckiest man because it came true
Damn I'm thanking God it came true
I won’t make a promise to you I can’t keep
Won’t box in your mind to the point you can’t dream
Won’t let you feel like there’s somethin' you can’t reach
I promise to show you the things they can’t teach
I promise to treat your mother like she’s a queen
Promise to keep our fam together cause we built a team
Now your daddy ain’t perfect, not by any means
But through my flaws, I can still promise you those things
And as you get older and I can’t hold you
And your favorite transportation no longer my shoulders
You want a Range Rover, your friends staying over
When you turn 18 and finally the wait is over
When your heart breaks and you think that the game is over
And then you learn super quick that it really ain’t over
When you go off to school and life hit you with a boulder
Just always remember what daddy always told you
I’m always here, I’m always near
I made that clear, so don’t you fear
No matter how things appear
You’re forever my little girl, my princess in our little world
I’ll be working to give you the world and I mean that
Wish your great-grandma was here to see that
You have her name so she’ll always be exactly where we at
They say I'm overprotective, I’ll be that
Knowing you good is where I get my peace at Believe that, yea
But they might not understand
I raised you but you help this boy grow into a man for real
I won’t make a promise to you I can’t keep
Won’t box in your mind to the point you can’t dream
Won’t let you feel like there’s somethin' you can’t reach
I promise to show you the things they can’t teach
I promise to treat your mother like she’s a queen
Promise to keep our fam together cause we built a team
Now your daddy ain’t perfect, not by any means
But through my flaws, I can still promise you those things

Since you been home mommy and dad ain’t been resting
But I ain't complaining cause I know that God sent a blessing
It seems like yesterday when we found out your mom was pregnant
