Mother's Daughter

I saw you cry when I was seventeen

You saw my father's stubborn heart in me

You had the dream, the house, the dress was made

Then someone else's ship took me away

If I lose in the long run

Then I lost it my own way

There's some truth that can't be undone

It's the price I've always paid

Just like he taught her

I am my mother's daughter

I saw you cry when I was seventeen

You said daddy broke us down with his big dream

I roll the dice on chances just like him

But the tallest trees still bend in the wind

If I lose in the long run

Then I lost it my own way

There's some truth that can't be undone

It's the price I've always paid

Just like he taught her

I am my mother's daughter

You saw me cry when I was seventeen

It was then you knew the road ahead of me

If I lose in the long run

Then I lost it my own way

There's some truth that can't be undone

It's the price I've always paid

Just like he taught her

I am my mother's daughter

Just like he taught her

I am my mother's daughter
