Samantha Fish - Daughters lyrics

They made their way down to Lafayette
Living off candy bars and cigarettes
Another broken family
Runaway and a casualty
Daddy's little angel
They wouldn't find her way down here

I said, Lord
Born to reach the stars
But daughters break your heart
Oh, oh, woah
Cast the kids aside
And sing a lifetime of good-byes

He was a savior
He was an anchor, mirror of all the memories she could forget
Don't matter if the money's gone
They die with their boots still on
'Cause victory will someday atone for our regrets

And, I said, Lord
Born to reach the stars
But daughters break your heart
Oh, oh, woah
Cast the kids aside
And sing a lifetime of good-byes, oh

Breaking down her childhood
Never did her mind much good
History repeats, but heartache is homegrown
They let outta Arkansas
A rebel child with the motor floored
Love felt like a lie
So, he came along

And I said, Lord
Born to reach the stars
But daughters break your heart
Oh, oh, woah
Cast the kids aside
And sing a lifetime of good-byes, hey, ey
I said, Lord
Born to reach the stars
But daughters break your heart
Oh, oh, woah
Cast the kids aside
And sing a lifetime of good-byes, oh
