Standard (EADGBE)

The declaration of independence

 Think I can tell you that first sentence, But then I'm lost

I can't begin to count the theories

 I had pounded in my head that I forgot

 I don't remember all that Spanish Or the Gettysburg address

 But there is one speech from high school, I'll never forgot

Chorus

Come on in boy, sit on down and tell me 'bout yourself

 So you like my daughter, do you now, yeah we think she's something else

 She's her daddy's girl and her mama's world

 She deserves respect, that's what she'll get, ain't it son

 Now y'all run along and have some fun

 I'll see you when you get back, Bet I'll be up all night

 Still cleaning this gun

Well now that I'm a father

 I'm scared to death one day my daughter's gonna find,

 That teenage boy I used to be

 Who seems to have just one thing on his mind

 She's growing up so fast it won't be long before

 I'll have to put the fear of god

 Into some kid at the door

Chorus

 It's all for show, ain't nobody gonna get hurt

 It's just a daddy thing, hey believe me man, it works

Chorus
