The  declaration of independence
 Think I can tell  you that first sentence,  But then I'm lost
I  can't begin to count the theories
 I had pounded  in my head  that I forgot
 I don't remember  all that Spanish Or the Gettysburg  address
 But there is one  speech from high school, I'll  never forgot
Come  on in boy, sit  on down and tell  me 'bout yourself
 So you like  my daughter, do you  now, yeah we think  she's something else
 She's her daddy's  girl and her mama's world
 She deserves  respect, that's what  she'll get, ain't it son
 Now y'all run along and have  some fun
 I'll see  you when you get back, Bet I'll be  up all night
 Still cleaning this  gun
Well  now that I'm a father
 I'm scared to death  one day my daughter's  gonna find,
 That teenage boy I used to be
 Who seems to have just one  thing on his mind
 She's growing up  so fast it won't be long before
 I'll have  to put the fear of god
 Into some  kid at the door
  Chorus
 It's all for  show, ain't nobody gonna get hurt
 It's just a daddy  thing, hey  believe me man,  it works
  Chorus
