I told her that I loved her She would always be my little girl The hardest thing I ever did Was to let her go out in this big, ol', crazy world Fought her way through high school 'Cause them mean girls always put her down Guess she just wasn't cool enough For the kids here in this one-horse, beat-up town I always knew she would fly so far And she would find a place to help her heal her scars ♪ It's good to be a daddy's girl He calls you 'little squirrel', tries to kiss it all away But sometimes a daddy's love It just ain't enough to take away the pain She has to do it on her own And now that she is grown, there's bill she's got to pay But you can bet she ain't done yet Chasing out the dreams she hopes come true one day She always prays she can fly that far Far enough away to help her heal her scars We all have paid in our lives that makes us who we are I always knew she would fly so far She would find a place to help her heal her scars ♪ She always prays she can fly that far Far enough away to help her heal her scars
