Girl Dad

I hate the sound of my boots on this gravel

I miss that dash in between those years

I ain't gonna lie, every day's been a battle

You'd think by now I'd run out of these tears

But so much has happened since the last time I saw you

So I came out here, since I can't call you

I met a girl, Dad, I told her I loved her

We got married out in California

Sunset on her white dress, God, it was beautiful

We saved a cold one and a chair for you

And I know you're looking down from up there, I believe it

I just wish that I could see you see this

Little black and white picture

Yeah, I wanted so bad to tell you in person

We're having a girl, Dad

I bet half of heaven already knows 'cause you're already braggin'

How you had to make your way up there to make all this happen

Yes, you'll be here in August, right around your birthday

Kinda like you and mama, I knew on the first date

Yeah, I met a girl, Dad, I told her I loved her

We got married out in California

Sunset on her white dress, God, it was beautiful

We saved a cold one and a chair for you

And I know you're looking down from up there, I believe it

I just wish that I could see you see this

Little black and white picture

Yeah, I wanted so bad to tell you in person

We're having a girl, Dad

We're having a girl, Dad

Yeah, I wanted you to be the one that teaches her about fishin'

Not her growin' up not knowing what she's missin', but

I know you're looking down from up there, I believe it

I just wish that I could see you see this

Little black and white picture

Yeah, I wanted so bad to tell you in person

We're having a girl, Dad
