Daddy's Pride
Lyrics by R. Naylor & R. Denny, Music R. Naylor (2005)
Dead set in the middle of town, neons light the city streets
The Night takes over as she slips from her sheets
Lookin out to the world to make a livin on the beat
Ladies of the night ascend at daylights retreat
Workin nine to five
Just to stay alive
Listen!!
Bossman hides in the shadows, watchin her every move
Nowhere to run or hide, there's nothing she can do
Ninety percent is his take, calls it his fee
Says it's for safe keeping, it will keep you free
Can't break the chains
Can't let go of the riens
CHORUS
Daddy said she'd never amount to anything
She believed this to be true
So she put her cards on the table
And with a full deck Jokers were all she drew
She tried one time to get away, only made the edge of town
One thing she didn't know, he had eyes all around
She really wants off the streets, start life anew
Called her daddy on the phone, he said I'm comin for you
Stay where you are
Im not very far
CHORUS
Daddy said she'd never amount to anything
She believed this to be true
So she put her cards on the table
And with a full deck Jokers were all she drew
Daddy arrived just in time, to find his little girl
Off in the corner booth, in the arms of big Earl
Daddy said to let her go, she's comin with me
Big Earl said bring it on, cause nothing is free
Then the shots rang out
Big Earl lost the bout
CHORUS
Daddy said she'd never amount to anything
She believed this to be true
So she put her cards on the table
And with a full deck jokers were all she drew
Jokers were all she drew
Paid the devil his due
