I can’t say, I didn’t see it coming,

Today it just hit me in the face,

I don’t think that either of us want it,

But Your car is running, ain’t no other way,

 

Let life take you where it needs to,

Take the things you need to take,

But on the way

 

CH

Remember crying after school,

These rough hands holding you,

The night we counted every single star,

Your first car, your first date, both taught me to pray,

And it tore me up to watch him break your heart,

Give’em hell, Blow’em all away

Don’t you worry about me I’ll be ok,

That’s what a daddy’s gonna say

 

The floor in this old house

Are used to singing,

When you danced across’em every afternoon

But the noise they’re making more like complaining

And when its raining they just hum the blues

 

I still say goodnight at bedtime

To a quiet empty hall,

I miss it all

 

CH

BRIDGE

Its killing me to see that little girl I raised, drive away

 

CH

From crying after school,

These rough hands holding you,

The night we counted every single star,

Your first car, your first date, both taught me to pray,

And it tore me up to watch him break your heart,

Give’em hell, Blow’em all away

Don’t you worry about me I’ll be ok,

That’s what a daddy’s gotta say
