Daddy’s Girl

[Verse 1]
You pulled into the driveway in your pretty little beamer
Heavy on the pedal, heavy metal on your speakers
My daddy had that look in his eye before you even made it inside
He said, "Girl where'd you pick him up? He must be from the city
Looks a little Hollywood, his jeans are kinda skinny
That don't look like four-wheel drive, well, darlin' he ain't my type"

[Chorus]
I'm sorry, hate to break it to you, but I gotta tell you the truth
'Cause it don't matter if I love you, boy, he's gotta love you too
It's not you, it's him, a fight we'll never win
Hate I have to kick you to the curb
But if my daddy doesn't like you
It's never gonna work

[Verse 2]
When I think I know best he always seems to know better
Don't tell him that I said he's got a good track record
I don't wanna waste your time, only a country boy can survive

[Chorus]
I'm sorry, hate to break it to you, but I gotta tell you the truth
'Cause it don't matter if I love you, boy, he's gotta love you too
It's not you, it's him, a fight we'll never win
Hate I have to kick you to the curb
But if my daddy doesn't like you
It's never gonna work

[Post-Chorus]
Never gonna
Never ever gonna work
Never gonna
Never ever gonna work

[Bridge]
You could be a millionaire, an astronaut, a preacher or a lawyer
The CEO of Chevrolet, a top notch doctor
A quarterback in the SEC
But it really ain't up to me

[Chorus]
I'm sorry, hate to break it to you, but I gotta tell you the truth
'Cause it don't matter if I love you, boy, he's gotta love you too
It's not you, it's him, a fight we'll never win
Hate I have to kick you to the curb
But if my daddy doesn't like you
Yeah, you could be the last man on this earth
But if my daddy doesn't like you
It's never gonna work
