The declaration of independence
(riff)
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
(riff)
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 before
I ll have to put the fear of god
Into some kid at the door
Chorus
It s all for show, ain t nobody gonna get hurt
It s just a daddy thing, hey believe me man, it works
Chorus
