Daddy I don't mean to make you cry,
Don't mean to keep you up at night
Sitting on the front porch,
Looking out for my headlights
Say a prayer and count some sheep,
Close your eyes and try to sleep
Oh daddy don't, daddy don't worry about me
You taught me everything I need to know
So it's okay to let your baby go
Oh daddy don't, daddy don't, daddy don't worry about me
I know good and wrong from right
Fire burns and boys tell lies
And if it comes down to it, I know how to fight
Well you know I know I can hold my own
So it's okay to let your baby go
Oh daddy don't, daddy don't, daddy don't worry about me
Don't want you to see me cry
It's bittersweet to say goodbye
But you gave me wings, Now I've gotta fly
You see I'm headed down to Tennessee
I'm gonna do you proud you'll see
Oh
Oh
Lifes a never ending turning twisting road
But I know I can find my way back home
Oh daddy don't, daddy don't, daddy don't worry about me
Oh daddy don't, daddy don't, daddy don't worry about me
Say a prayer and count some sheep
Close your eyes and try to sleep
Oh daddy don't, daddy don't worry about me
