Mother’s Daughter

[Verse 1]
She's gettin' older, you'd think that she'd be farther
If she were smarter, she'd turn the car around
She won't admit it, but when the tough gets harder
She's her mother's daughter, she's gonna let you down

[Chorus]
Run away little Dixieland, gone away is the steady hand
Stayin' forever is a promise that nobody can keep
Fly away, little Delta Rose, she finds love where'er she goes
Stayin' forever is the biggest lie she'll ever believe

[Verse 2]
When she was younger, she was more like her father
Faithful and stronger, she was the light in his eyes
And she'll deny it, but now that he's no longer
She's her mother's daughter until the day she dies

[Chorus]
Run away little Dixieland, gone away is the steady hand
Stayin' forever is a promise that nobody can keep
Fly away, little Delta Rose, she finds love where'er she goes
Stayin' forever is the biggest lie she'll ever believe

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Run away little Dixieland, gone away is the steady hand
Stayin' forever is a promise that nobody can keep
Fly away, little Delta Rose, she finds love where'er she goes
Stayin' forever is the biggest lie she'll ever believe

[Outro]
Stayin' forever is the biggest lie she'll ever believe
