I remember when I came home, had a little one of my own
Daddy was so damn mad, cause I was growing up way too fast
But when he came around, he told me I was still his little mountain baby
He put his love into all that he did, that man had a heart so big
He was loved by so many, I was proud to call him daddy
Even when I was wrong, he still called me his troubled little mountain baby
I was raised on a mountain, I was daddy's little girl
He taught me how to depend on myself
I was always on the outside with daddy, on the Alabama mountain shelf
Picking up the yard, working on cars, changing tires and keeping them ready
Building things with my own two hands, yeah, cause I'm daddy's little mountain baby
He'd say, don't you go depending on a man, when you can fix it with your own two hands
I learned to make a fist and stand my ground, when every trouble came poking around
He taught me how to stand for what I believe, yeah, cause I'm daddy's little mountain baby
He taught me how to live off the land, and stand as strong as any other man
But when I got hurt, his hands was gentle as a song, but tough as a board when I done wrong
But he always told me how much he loved me, yeah, cause I'm daddy's little mountain baby
I remember when I came home, had a little one of my own
I was always on the outside with daddy, yeah, he still called me his little mountain baby
Yeah, I'm daddy's little mountain baby
