A little girl with eyes of blue You were your mother's prayer You are your mother's daughter With ringlets in your hair But... Turn the competition up Turn the volume up to ten You're a little tomboy Your dads daughter then... You can pick a squirrel from a tree When you wrestle you won't yield When you go and play at football You're the best boy on the field You can tear apart an engine You act just like your dad I've got to say my daughter Is the son I never had You dress up for your mother Wear a dress to go to school You have manners like no other And you know the golden rule But, when the day is over The dress is off and jeans on quick Then you grab your rod and tackle box And take off fishing at the crick You can pick a squirrel from a tree When you wrestle you won't yield When you go and play at football You're the best boy on the field You can tear apart an engine You act just like your dad I've got to say my daughter Is the son I never had You are your mothers princess You are your daddy's son But you are our loving daughter When it counts, and day is done You make both of us happy You make both of us proud You blush when I yell loudly That's my daughter....really loud You can pick a squirrel from a tree When you wrestle you won't yield When you go and play at football You're the best boy on the field You can tear apart an engine You act just like your dad I've got to say my daughter Is the son I never had

The Son I never had
A little girl with eyes of blue You were your mother's prayer You are your mother's daughter With ringlets in your hair But... Turn the competition up Turn the volume up to ten You're a little tomboy Your dads daughter then... You can pick a squirrel from a tree When you wrestle you won't yield When you go and play at football You're the best boy on the field You can tear apart an engine You act just like your dad I've got to say my daughter Is the son I never had You dress up for your mother Wear a dress to go to school You have manners like no other And you know the golden rule But, when the day is over The dress is off and jeans on quick Then you grab your rod and tackle box And take off fishing at the crick You can pick a squirrel from a tree When you wrestle you won't yield When you go and play at football You're the best boy on the field You can tear apart an engine You act just like your dad I've got to say my daughter Is the son I never had You are your mothers princess You are your daddy's son But you are our loving daughter When it counts, and day is done You make both of us happy You make both of us proud You blush when I yell loudly That's my daughter....really loud You can pick a squirrel from a tree When you wrestle you won't yield When you go and play at football You're the best boy on the field You can tear apart an engine You act just like your dad I've got to say my daughter Is the son I never had
