I know sometimes, things may not always make sense to you right now, but hey, what did daddy always tell you? Straigten up. Stiffen up that upper lip. What you cryin about? You got me.

(1st Verse)
Haillie I know you miss you mom, and i know u miss your dad
when im gone, but im tryin to give u the that life i never had
I can see your sad, even when you smile even when you laugh
I can see it in your eyes
deep inside you wanna cry
Cuz your scared
when i aint there
daddy’s with you in your prayers
No more cryin wipe them tears
Daddy’s here no more nightmares
We gon’ pull together through it
we gon’ do it
Laney,uncles crazy ain’t he
yeah but he loves u girl and u better know it
We’re all we got in this world
When it spins when it swirls
When it whirls, when it twirls
Two little beautiful girls
Lookin puzzled in a daze
I know it’s confusin you
Daddy’s always on the move
Momma’s always on the news
I try to keep you sheltered from it but some how it seems
the more i try to do that the more it backfires on me
all the things growin up as daddy, daddy had too see
daddy dont want u to see but u see just as much as he did
we did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
but things have gotten so bad between us
i dont see us
ever bein together ever again
like we used to be when we us teenagers
but then of course everything always happens for a reason
but i guess it was just never meant to be
its just something we have no control over and thats wat destiny is
but no more worries rest your head and go to sleep
maybe one day we’ll wake up and this will all just be a dream
