Daddy's Footsteps

Felt inspired today to write something for my father, who is always there for me. I love you daddy, more than I know how to show sometimes. And I'm proud to say I have my daddy's eyes :)

Sitting in the bar
I cast sweet smiles
To all the men
I don't know

And I can tell by how
They look at me
That they've already
Figured out

That I'm not up for grabs
I'm not a toy
I am here for
Only one man

He's big and rude
Pierced and tattooed
bald and crude
So they won't mess with him

And when he grins
I light up
Because he is
Everything to me

Sitting here and watching
My father play this game
Has become
Everything to me

So I'll walk this world
In Daddy's footsteps
And I'll see it all
The way he did

And I'll make mistakes
Following Daddy's footsteps
And he'll pick me up
Just like he always has

Mama may hate me
For taking Daddy's path
But now that she's left
I don't take time to care

I'm taking a journey
In Daddy's footsteps
Got his blue eyes
So everyone will know

That I'm seeing the world
In Daddy's footsteps
And I'm slowly learning
To be myself

As I travel I'll change
Into my own person
But I'll always come back
To cross with Daddy's path
