The Daughters

Oh girl, wash your face before 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 but 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 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 I wash the dishes, feed the kids, and clean up all this mess Do my best, forgive myself, and look good in this dress Damn, 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 damn, 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 --- The Daughters - Little Big Town
