Glen Gales - My Daughter Lyrics

My daughter came to me, she said, Dad, I've got something to say
I know that you don't like him, you say that he's not good enough for me
Please understand, he's all that I need
Cause I'm in love with that cowboy, and that cowboy loves me

I said, I always hoped that you would find true love with anyone but a rodeo man
Well, I spent my whole life falling from the backs of them horses, and it's not the kind of life I recommend
She said, Dad, he is a good man. Deep down, he's quite a lot like you
The rodeo raised this family, and through it all, Mama stood by you

He ain't riding in the future, but on Sunday, I wish you'd come out and see
Why I'm in love with that cowboy, and that cowboy loves me
I said, I always hoped that you would find true love with anyone but a rodeo man
Well, I spent my whole life falling from the backs of them horses, and it's not the kind of life I recommend

But I'll come out on Sunday to see what your young man can do
Not because I'm wondering, but just because my little girl asked me to
She jumped up and kissed me, and she said, Dad, I love you
But I'm in love with that cowboy, and I want you to like him too

I said, I always hoped you would find true love with anyone but a rodeo man
Well, I spent my whole life falling from the backs of them horses, and it's not the kind of life I recommend
My daughter came to me. She said, Dad, I've got something to say
