Lyrics

First thing I remember knowing
Was a field of flowers growing
As wild as the heart I held inside
Dreaming just beyond the bend
I went carried by the wind
And no one could change my mind
But daddy tried
All the stars hung in the sky
Can't compete with city lights
But my daddy seemed to know
What lie in store
Despite all my Sunday learning
Toward the nightlife I kept turning
Till daddy couldn't hold me anymore
I turned 21 in Nashville
Living life out on the road
No one could steer me right
But daddy tried, daddy tired
Daddy tried to raise a lady
But his pleading I denied
That leaves only me to blame
'Cause daddy tired
Dear old daddy bless his soul
Carried such a heavy load
Didn't wanna let me go or turn me loose
Working hours without rest
Wanted me to have the best
Daddy tried to raise me right
But I refused
I turned 21 in Nashville
Living life out on the road
No one could steer me right
But daddy tried, daddy tired
Daddy tried to raise a lady
But his pleading I denied
That leaves only me to blame
'Cause daddy tired
