Daddy's Girl

[Chorus]

Yo, drift off, darlin’, where the starlights gleam,

Past the echoes of giggles in a country dream.

Cruisin’ dirt tracks where the good times roll,

In a world just ours, hearts never fold.

[Verse 1]

Bunny dadda’s callin’ in a midnight drawl,

Little boots stomp where the porch lights fall.

Ferris wheel spins, but the clock don’t care,

Freight trains hum through the cool night air.

Neon buzzin’ from the towns we knew,

Barn gates swing where the fireflies flew.

Cotton candy clouds in a sky we claimed,

But the storm rolled in, and it stole your name.

[Chorus]

Drift off, darlin’, where the starlights gleam,

Past the echoes of giggles in a country dream.

Cruisin’ dirt tracks where the good times roll,

In a world just ours, hearts never fold.

[Verse 2]

Paint in your palms, girl, a tale so raw,

Brushstrokes twist like a banjo’s claw.

Windows glowed with the love we built,

Now the frame’s cold, and the colors tilt.

Neighbors hootin’ in them summer haze,

Kickball vibes in the sun’s gold blaze.

Now the echoes fade to a lonesome tune,

But your voice still rides on a harvest moon.

[Bridge]

Catch me at night, I’m a whippoorwill’s cry,

A shadow two-steppin’ ‘neath a pine tree sky.

A spark in the dark when the Big Dipper shifts,

A lantern glowin’ through the lonely rifts.

[Verse 3]

I love you deep, girl, like a river runs wide,

Miss you fierce, like the tears I’ve cried.

Hugs tight as a lasso ‘round a runaway steer,

Kisses sweet as the honeysuckle here.

Your laugh’s my compass on this backroad grind,

Every mile apart cuts this heart of mine.

I’d trade my truck, my boots, my last dime,

For one more night with you in this rhyme.

[Chorus Soft Fade Out]

Drift off, darlin’, where the starlights gleam,

Past the echoes of giggles in a country dream.

No matter the miles, through the dusk or the dawn,

I’m here in the quiet, never gone.

[End]
