Oldest Daughter

[Verse 1]
Oldest daughter
Eyes of your father
Your mother's temper
And her mother's laugh

Lighter sleeper
Your brother's keeper
First nest leaver
You feed yourself last

Walkin' around with the world on your back

[Chorus]
When you and all the other kids are grown
When the bunkbeds and the swing sets are gone
You'll all move on
But you'll be the one
Who still don't know
How to let go

[Verse 2]
Oldest daughter
Savin' hot water
To make sure sister
Won't get cold

Somewhat stoic
Sometimes heroic
The one who keeps rowing the boat

The trusted listener when secrets get told

[Chorus]
When you and all the other kids are grown
When the bunkbeds and the swing sets are gone
You'll all move on
But you'll be the one
Who still don't know
How to let go

[Bridge]
You're always gonna give more than you take
That firstborn longroad spirit deep inside won't ever change

[Chorus]
When you and all the other kids are grown
When the bunkbeds and the swing sets are gone
You'll all move on
But you'll be the one
Who still don't know
How to let go

[Outro]
Oldest daughter
Oh, oldest daughter
Mmm
