"Girl Dad" lyrics

I hate the sound of my boots on this gravel
I miss that dash in between those years
I ain't gonna lie, every day's been a battle
You'd think by now, I'd run out of these tears
So much has happened since the last time I saw you
So I came out here since I can't call you

I met a girl, Dad, I told her I loved her
We got married out in California
Sunset on her white dress, God, it was beautiful
We saved a cold one and a chair for you
And I know you're looking down from up there, I believe it
I just wish that I could see you see this
Little black and white picture
Yeah, I wanted so bad to tell you in person
We're having a girl, Dad

I bet half of Heaven already knows 'cause you're already braggin'
How you had to make your way up there to make all this happen
Yes, you'll be here in August, right around your birthday
Kinda like you and Mama, I knew on the first date

Yeah, I met a girl, Dad, I told her I loved her
We got married out in California
Sunset on her white dress, God, it was beautiful
We saved a cold one and a chair for you
And I know you're looking down from up there, I believe it
I just wish that I could see you see this
Little black and white picture
Yeah, I wanted so bad to tell you in person
We're having a girl, Dad
We're having a girl, Dad

Yeah, I wanted you to be the one that teaches her about fishin'
Not her growin' up not knowing what she's missin', but
I know you're looking down from up there, I believe it
I just wish that I could see you see this
Little black and white picture
Yeah, I wanted so bad to tell you in person
We're having a girl, Dad
