her smile always lights up the room

she's a little naive innocent too

sees the world through her own lens

that's where the beautiful begins

we gave her my grandmother's name

her childlike faith puts me to shame

she's tough and tender with a silly sight

got a fearless streak a half mile wide

got a flair for fashion full of compassion

she's a sucker for old trucks

she loves all things eighties bad jokes babies

if you try to change her you're out of luck

i'll bet if she had her way

she'd live where mermaids splash and play

she'll clean the house if she gets half a chance

there's a room in her heart where angels dance

she tells me hey dad can you believe

they just said what i said on tv

well she hits it hard then she hits the wall

she's got a few scars oh but don't we all

she's a whole lot of southern

a little bit stubborn always quick to lend a hand

she likes acting goofy scary movies

she always has to know the plan

she loves out of the way booties elvis and antiques

watching criminal minds and doctor phil

rainy day wishin' creek bank

fishin' the smell of pork steaks on the grill

soon she'll go her own way

i'll fake a smile but i dread that day

if it's down the street or across the world

she'll always be my baby girl

you'll always be my baby

girl i'm glad god made you my baby
