Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tiny pink shoes by the front door
Crayon sun on the fridge, half blue sky
Coffee gone cold on the counter
As she says, “Watch this, Daddy, watch me fly”
[Chorus]
It’s just me and my girl in this old truck
Learning as we go, just trying to keep up
From her first wobbly steps to scraped-up knees
Late-night tears and cartoon dreams
Yeah it’s hard some days, but I thank God I’m lucky
When the world feels heavy on my back
One word can fix all that for me
When she calls me Daddy
[Verse 2]
Grocery list on a napkin
She spins in the aisle in her princess dress
Midnight fevers, midnight dishes
Talking to the ceiling, praying I don’t mess up this
[Chorus]
It’s just me and my girl in this old truck
Learning as we go, just trying to keep up
From her first wobbly steps to scraped-up knees
Late-night tears and cartoon dreams
Yeah it’s hard some days, but I thank God I’m lucky
When the world feels heavy on my back
One word can fix all that for me
When she calls me Daddy
[Bridge]
One day she’ll ask for the car keys
Say she’s “fine,” roll her eyes at me (oh man)
I’ll still see that toddler in my t-shirt
Dancing barefoot on my feet
[Chorus]
It’s just me and my girl in this old truck
Learning as we go, still trying to keep up
From training wheels to her leaving home
I’ll cheer her on, even when I’m alone
Yeah it’s hard some days, but I thank God I’m lucky
When the house gets quiet, and the nights feel long
I’ll still hear that little voice in me
When she calls me Daddy
(When she calls me Daddy)
