[Verse 1]
Baby, how'd you end up here?
In a Texas town, in a wedding gown with a near beer
Baby, how'd you go so wrong?
And you don't belong but I bet they all think you're sincere
[Chorus 1]
I've known you since your eyes were blue
And I'd die before I'd lie to you
And this ain't it, baby
This ain't it, baby
Lord knows I like to roll the dice
And I don't give the best advice
But this ain't it, baby
This ain't it, baby
[Verse 2]
Remember when you fell so hard
You were seventeen, he was a libertine with a black card
Rеmember how it fucked you up
You wеre acting tough with a fake ID in the Crow Bar
[Chorus 2]
I've known you for your whole damn life
You're more than just some rich man's wife
And this ain't it, baby
This ain't it, baby
You know that there'd be hell to pay
If your mama was alive today
And this ain't it, baby
This ain't it, baby
[Verse 3]
Baby, let me take you home
You'll love the place, I got extra space and I stay gone
Tell him what's on your heart
And the hardest part will be looking away from his cellphone
[Chorus 3]
Well, I ain't always been around
I built you up and I let you down
But this ain't it, baby
This ain't it, baby
I've known you since your eyes were blue
I'd die before I'd lie to you
But this ain't it, baby
This ain't it, baby
[Outro]
Baby, how'd you end up here?
Oh, baby, how'd you end up here?
Oh, baby, how'd you end up here?
Oh, baby, how'd you end up here?
Baby, how'd you end up here?
Oh, baby, how'd you end up here?
Oh, baby, how'd you end up here?
Oh, baby, how'd you end up here?

This is sort of post-Southern-rock, because it sounds very Southern rock, but the dad in this song is somebody who would completely, unironically love the Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd. The perspective is he’s basically trying to sneak back into his daughter’s life at a very inopportune time. I...
