Girl Dad
One girl slingin' sockets, feet on my old tool chest
throwin' sparks like breathin' fire, cussin' gentler than the rest
Her sister? Lord help me, runs a mill, she's born of steel
Shop floor at nineteen, she wants to learn, that's the deal
'tween the grit, the sass, the music and the metal sound...
I fight off that inner gangster to keep my patience nailed down
'Cause these girls push every button my heart ever found...
But I hold it deep, shove that old outlaw back down
Yeah, these two-they test every bolt in the frame of this man
but I keep my gangster holstered, when they don't understand
helluva thing, raisin' girls this tough in a soft town...
Takin' pride in the chaos, keepin' my gangster down
Built engines with the first one, late nights under bare-bulb light
She said, "Dad, I can torque it," damned if she wasn't right
The other learned machining before college or high-school dances
Ran Mills and coolant hoses, dreamin' big, takin' chances
They don't take the easy road, not soft or safe and sound...
Every time they test me, I keep my gangster nailed down
'Cause these girls push every button my heart ever found...
But I hold it deep, shove that old outlaw back down
Yeah, these two-they test every bolt in the frame of this man
but I keep my gangster holstered when they don't understand
helluva thing, raisin' girls this tough in a soft town...
Takin' pride in the chaos, keepin' my gangster down
One day they'll look back and see the fire I held inside...
How every slammed door and rolled eye was part of the ride
I ain't perfect, but I'm the dad they need around...
It was mercy, it was patience, keepin' my gangster down
Yeah these girls-big-hearted, steel-shaped, glory-bound...
I'll walk through hell standin' tall, never lettin' my gangster out
'Cause love ain't quiet but it'll damn sure make ya proud...
Raisin' girls like these, keepin' my gangster down.
