Daddy's Girl by Mendenhall

Dripping with ice
Like she's got it all down
Walks in the room
She's the toast of the town
No one would never know that she's just
Daddy's girl from a small town world

Working so hard
Climbing to the top
Left them all behind
Or so she thought
But deep inside she'll always be
Daddy's girl from a small town world

All those big glitzy lights
Of the big city nights
Instead of country roads
In your grandpa's Ford
So many things in your life
You find slipping away

Fly high
But never let them into your heart your heart
If you run around chasing the stars
Never forget who you are

Fly high
But listen to the beat of your heart
If you run around chasing the stars
Never let them change who you are

All of your life spent chasing the dream
But when you look in the mirror, do you like who you see
Scratched and clawed your way to the top
But standing here now, do you like what you got
And what it cost

But tonight she's
Walking around
Turning every head
With her style and poise
No one suspects
That behind that dress, she's really just
Daddy's girl from a small town world

All the glamorous sights
Of the big city life
Instead of fireflies
On a summer night

Fly high
But listen to the beat of your heart
If you run around chasing the stars
Never let them change who you are

You could have the time of your life
Or the darkest of times

Fly high
But listen to the beat of your heart
If you run around chasing the stars
Never let them change who you are

All of your life spent chasing the dream
But when you look in the mirror, do you like who you see
Scratched and clawed your way to the top
But standing here now, do you like what you got
And what it cost

You could have the time of your life
Or the darkest of times...
