The declaration of independence  Think I can tell you that first sentence  But then I'm lost  I can't begin to count the theories  I had pounded in my head that I forgot  I don't remember all that spanish  Or the gettysburg address  But there is one speech from high school  I'll never forgot    [Chorus:]    Come on in boy, sit on down  And tell me 'bout yourself  So you like my daughter, do you now  Yeah we think she's something else  She's her daddy's girl and her mama's world  She deserves respect, that's what she'll get, ain't it son  Now y'all run along and have some fun  I'll see you when you get back  Bet I'll be up all night  Still cleaning this gun    Well now that I'm a father  I'm scared to death one day my daughter's gonna find  That teenage boy I used to be  Who seems to have just one thing on his mind  She's growing up so fast it won't be long  'fore I'll have to put the fear of god  Into some kid at the door    [repeat chorus]    It's all for show, ain't nobody gonna get hurt  It's just a daddy thing, hey believe me man, it works    [repeat chorus]
