Lyrics
Daddy I told you I was gonna fly
I'd get out of that town alive
Don't worry, I kept your name and your picture in a frame
Just like you, I got a lot in my heart
It won't let me fall apart
I'll always be your little girl
I love you more than this whole world
And daddy I told you
Remember how you made me sing them hymns on the back porch
Daddy, don't you know I'm carrying your spirit like a torch?
Daddy I told you I was gonna fly
I'd get out of that town alive
Don't worry, I kept your name and your picture in a frame
Just like you, I got a lot in my heart
It won't let me fall apart
I'll always be your little girl
I love you more than this whole world
And daddy I told you
Brothers having babies, Mama's getting strong
Things are changng
Daddy I thank you, knew it all along
I keep chasing down a dream
It's bigger than you and me
Daddy I told you I was gonna fly
I'd get out of that town alive
Don't worry, I kept your name and your picture in a frame
Just like you, I got a lot in my heart
It won't let me fall apart
I'll always be your little girl
I love you more than this whole world
And daddy I told you
