Mother's Daughter

[Verse 1]

She's gettin' older, you'd think that she'd be farther

If she were smarter, she'd turn the car around

She won't admit it, but when the tough gets harder

She's her mother's daughter, she's gonna let you down

[Chorus]

Run away little Dixieland, gone away is the steady hand

Stayin' forever is a promise that nobody can keep

Fly away, little Delta Rose, she finds love where'er she goes

Stayin' forever is the biggest lie she'll ever believe

[Verse 2]

When she was younger, she was more like her father

Faithful and stronger, she was the light in his eyes

And she'll deny it, but now that he's no longer

She's her mother's daughter until the day she dies

[Chorus]

Run away little Dixieland, gone away is the steady hand

Stayin' forever is a promise that nobody can keep

Fly away, little Delta Rose, she finds love where'er she goes

Stayin' forever is the biggest lie she'll ever believe

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Run away little Dixieland, gone away is the steady hand

Stayin' forever is a promise that nobody can keep

Fly away, little Delta Rose, she finds love where'er she goes

Stayin' forever is the biggest lie she'll ever believe

[Outro]

Stayin' forever is the biggest lie she'll ever believe
