My Father’s Daughter (feat. Dolly Parton)

She stepped off of the boat to see flowers in his hands

The man she would marry was as hard as the mountains

She had his children in a log cabin

Soon I'd be another star in this family's constellation

In the land of the midnight Sun

Searching for gold

I am my father's daughter

He has his mother's eyes

I am the product of her sacrifice

I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations

And their stories live in me like holy water

I am my father's daughter

My father raised me in an old log cabin

And he sang for me the songs his mother sang to him

In honky-tonks, and empty bars, just me and him

And that old guitar

He passed on a legacy wrapped up in a melody

And I carry on

Searching for gold

I am my father's daughter

I have his eyes

I am the product of his sacrifice

I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations

And their stories live in me like holy water

I am my father's daughter

And every time I step on stage

And the music finds me

I don't need gold to remind me

I am my father's daughter

I have my Grandma's eyes

I am the product of such sacrifice

I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations

And their stories live in me like holy water

I am my father's daughter

Oh, I am my father's daughter
