Pin-Up Daddy

Momma used to paint my cheeks rosy red

Teased my hair as high as the mountains for the county pageants

Twisting both my ankles just to lose the beauty contest

Mamma never said I was second-best

She loved her tomboy in a sequin dress

Cried the first time dad looped a tie around my neck

Part of me I thought had died rose up to the surface

And on my birthday gave me a suit that fit just right

I felt like his little girl and a young man at the same time

No matter what side of the bed I wake up on today

I still rise, I'm alive, I am everything

I don't give a fuck what the world thinks they're looking at

I'm a pin-up daddy

Twirling in my heels with my hair slicked back

Used to feel like a guest in my own body

'Till I peeled back the wallpaper and I found a silver lining

My eyes are no longer vacant like a haunted house

I switched on all the lights once I met myself

No matter what side of the bed I wake up on today

I still rise, I'm alive, I am everything

I don't give a fuck what the world thinks they're looking at

'Cause I'm a pin up daddy

Twirling in my heels with my hair slicked back

No matter what side of the bed I wake up on today

I still rise, I'm alive, I am everything

I don't give a fuck what the world thinks they're looking at

'Cause I'm a pin up daddy

Twirling in my heels with my hair slicked back
