Lyrics
When he saw two pink lines on the bathroom counter
Bet he thought plowing fields,
‘Stead of picking flowers
Oh A firstborn son to carry on the family name
Maybe that’s why he cried on the day I came
Was he asking himself, what’s a cowboy gonna do,
‘Cause Tractor Supply don’t sell ballerina shoes
I might’ve worn a pink bow to match that dress they put me in
But all I wanted to be was just like him
He got a shotgun rider in a harvester seat
And when that farm truck fired, he heard “Daddy take me”
Passing wrenches, swinging fences,
Maybe not like he planned
But daddy’s little girl
Was his right hand man
I had my mud on my hands, ‘stead of paint
On my fingers
He gave me my thick skin, and my first pair of Wranglers
Since the day these boots, could follow in
His footsteps
I’ve been trying to reach that bar he set
When he got a shotgun rider in a harvester seat
And when that farm truck fired, he heard “Daddy take me”
Passing wrenches, swinging fences,
Maybe not like he planned
But daddy’s little girl
Was his right hand man
Now there’s 500 miles between me and home
I might have grown up, but I’ll never outgrow
Being his shotgun rider
When that old farm truck fires he still hears “Dad wait for me”
Passing wrenches, swinging fences
Maybe not like he planned
Daddy’s little girl is still his right hand man
Daddy’s little girl was his right hand man
