Lyrics
Yee-haw (ooh-ooh)
Texas, Texas, (ooh-ooh) Texas
Came into this world
Daddy's little girl
And daddy made a soldier out of me (ooh-ooh)
Daddy made me dance
And daddy held my hand (ooh-ooh)
And daddy liked his whiskey with his tea
And we rode motorcycles
Blackjack, classic vinyl
Tough girl is what I had to be
He said, "Take care of your mother
Watch out for your sister"
And oh, that's when he gave to me
With his gun, with his head held high
He told me not to cry
Oh, my daddy said shoot
Oh, my daddy said shoot
With his right hand on his rifle
He swore it on the bible
My daddy said shoot
Oh, my daddy said shoot
He held in his arms
And he taught me to be strong
He told me when he's gone
"Here's what you do
When trouble comes in town
And men like me come around"
Oh, my daddy said shoot
Oh, my daddy said shoot
Ooh-ooh
(Yee, woo) ooh-ooh (yee-haw) woo
Daddy made me fight
It wasn't always right
But he said. "Girl, it's your Second Amendment" (ooh-ooh)
He always played it cool
But daddy was no fool
And right before he died he said remember
He said, "Take care of your mother
Watch out for your sister"
That's when daddy looked at me
With his gun, with his head held high
He told me not to cry
Oh, my daddy said shoot
Oh, my daddy said shoot
With his right hand on his rifle
He swore it on the bible
My daddy said shoot (yee)
Oh, my daddy said shoot (yee-haw)
'Cause he held in his arms
And he taught me to be strong
And he told me when he's gone
"Here's what you do
When trouble comes to town
And men like me come around"
Oh, my daddy said shoot
Oh, my daddy said shoot (woo)
Ooh-ooh (woo)
Ooh-ooh (woo)
Ooh-ooh (yee)
Ooh-ooh (yee-haw)
My daddy warned me about men like you
He said, "Baby girl, he's playing you
He's playing you"
My daddy warned me about men like you
He said, "Baby girl, he's playing you
He's playing you
'Cause when trouble comes in town
And men like me come around"
Oh, my daddy said shoot (yee)
Oh, my daddy said shoot (yee-haw)
"'Cause when trouble comes to town
And men like me come around"
Oh, my daddy said shoot
Oh, my daddy said shoot
(Good job Bey)
