Father's Daughter Lyrics

I found myself on the wrong side of town

A darkened alley way, I had to stand my ground

I'm my father's daughter and he taught me how to fight

But he always told me "just stand tall, it'll be alright"

Well I wish that man could see me now

A fist full of someone else's blood

I can hear his voice in my head now

Sayin' "girl, you better not turn and run"

I found myself on the wrong side of a gun

Behind an old warehouse, you would have thought that I was done

But I'm my father's daughter and I know when I need to fight

And he always told me "just stand tall, it'll be alright"

Well I wish that man could see me now

My boots in someone else's blood

I can hear his voice in my head now

Sayin' "girl, you better not turn and run"

I found myself getting knocked out off an old bar stool

That boy was in trouble the moment I came to

'Cause I'm my father's daughter, and he taught me how to fight

But he never told me about if it went to far one night

Well I wish that man were with me now

'Cause I hear the sirens getting close

And it ain't his voice in my head now

Saying "girl, hurry up, 'cause you better run"
