A DADDY DEAL

I went to pick my date up

The dance started at eight

Her Daddy opened up the door

And put me in my place

He said that they aren't kidding 

When they mention Dads and guns

If this girl wasn't so special

I’d have turned around and run

He said you go straight to the dance

And don’t you leave that school 

I’ll put you in a body bag

If you don’t follow my rules

~~~*Chorus*~~~

It was so hot that the floor was burning

Underneath my feet

All I wanted was to dance with her

And all I got was heat

When I grow up I’m having daughters

When the time to have them comes

So my boys won’t have to deal with Daddies

Like my Father’s Son

~~*~~

She looked like a Goddess

Coming down the stairs

I wanted to kiss her badly

But her Daddy was right there

Her mama wanted pictures 

Of her daughter's special night

I went to put my arm around her

But I held them at my side

Her Daddy’s eyes said try it

But I couldn't take the chance

That he would twist my arm off

So that we would miss the dance

~~~*Chorus*~~~

It was so hot that the floor was burning

Underneath my feet

All I wanted was to dance with her

And all I got was heat

When I grow up I’m having daughters

When the time to have them comes

So my boys won’t have to deal with Daddies

Like my Father’s Son

~~*~~

Oh he left an impression

I could barely hold my date

All I saw were body bags

Surely not her pretty face

She said just take me home please

I’m getting used to this

I’ll call you in the morning

Go ahead give me a kiss

She said I know he scared you

And I’m sure he mentioned death

Daddy’s are protective

I said Yes, let me confess

~~~*Final Chorus*~~~

It was so hot that the floor was burning

Underneath my feet

All I wanted was to dance with you

And all I got was heat

When I grow up I’m having daughters

When the time to have them comes

So my boys won’t have to deal with Daddies

Like my Father’s Son
