about

from a father to his daughter

lyrics

Hey daughter, sure is tough to understand
Go figure, things didn’t work out as you planned
No quarter, they try to give you more than you can stand
Ain’t it grand

It should come as no surprise, the look that’s in your eyes
Seen it since you were just a little child
Yeah, we shoulda known that no matter what you’re thrown
You always had the fight in you to smile

You’re Miss Get Back Up, aintcha
You’re gonna get back up, aintcha
And get back down to doing what needs to get done
And you do it ’til you get it done

Some people, they come apart when they lose
Can’t blame ’em, they can only take so much bad news
You keep stepping in and out of someone else’s shoes
Long laces, they never seem to stay tied

You can’t beg or borrow your way out of this sorrow
Hold out for the dear old by and by
But nothing lasts forever, no one knows this better
Long as you got some feathers, you can fly

(Chorus)

You’re Miss Get Back Up, aintcha
You’re gonna get back up, aintcha
And get back down to doing what needs to get done
And you do it til you get it done
Getting ’til the getting’s done
Sure as the setting sun
