The Daughters

Lyrics by：Karen Fairchild/Ashley Ray/Sean McConnell

Oh girl wash your face 'fore you come to the table

Girl know your place be willing and able

Take it on the chin let the best man win

Girl shoulders back and stand up straight

Girl watch your mouth and watch your weight

Mind your manners smile for the camera

And pose like a trophy on a shelf

Dream for everyone but not yourself

I've heard of God the son and God the father

I'm still looking for a God for the daughters

Girl don't be weak and don't be strong

Say what you want just as long

As you nod your head with your lipstick on

And pose like a trophy on a shelf

And dream for everyone but not yourself

I've heard of God the son and God the father

I'm just looking for a God for the daughters

Wash the dishes feed the kids and clean up all this mess

Do my best forgive myself and look good in this dress

D**n I look good in this dress

And pose like a trophy on a shelf

I'll dream for everyone but not myself

I've heard of God the son and God the father

And d**n I love my son I love my father

I'm just looking for a God for the daughters

I'm just looking for a God for the daughters

For the daughters

I'm just looking for a God

For the daughters

For the daughters
