"Her Daddy’s Girl” – Cowboy’s Voice

(pad low) (gtr strm)

(m vox)

(gtr kick)

She was born to a hard man, a fighter through and through,

Vietnam vet with the old-school truth.

He walked a long road, made peace with the past,

When the grandkids came, his mean days didn’t last.

He’d grin wide, call her name,

Said, “You’ll always be my claim to fame.”

(steel swl, snr tap)

She still hears his voice when the night gets long,

Like an echo hummin’ that Beatles song.

(band up)

She’s her daddy’s girl, strong as stone,

Heart of gold, even when she’s alone.

Through the tears and the years,

She still feels him near.

From Ruidoso’s stream to Heaven’s gate,

He’s fishin’ again, just runnin’ late.

She’s her daddy’s girl — that don’t change.

(gtr rhy, pad)

They’d laugh in the truck, drive through the rain,

Joke about his hair, like old times again.

He’d say, “Don’t start your shit, Michelle, I’m fine,”

Old man humor, stubborn and kind.

She stood by his side till his final fight,

Now she carries his fire in her light.

(pn str lift)

And when Sunday comes, she still cries in the pew,

When that song starts playin’, she swears he’s there too.

Every breath, every prayer, every whisper and word,

The love of a daddy still lives in this world.

(band full)

She’s her daddy’s girl, always will be,

Got his strength runnin’ deep like roots in a tree.

He’s the wind in her laugh, the calm in her storm,

The voice that reminds her, she’s safe and warm.

From Ruidoso skies to the stars above,

She’ll always be wrapped in her daddy’s love.
