Cleaning this Gun - The Mick Lloyd Connection

The Declaration of Independence

Think I could tell you that first sentence

But then I'm lost

I can't begin to count the theories

I've 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 forget

Come on in boy sit on down

And tell me about yourself

So you like my daughter do you now

Yeah we think she's something else

She's her daddy's girl

Her momma's world

She deserves respect

That's what she'll get

Ain't it son

Hey 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

Is gonna find

That teenage boy I used to be

That 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

Come on in boy sit on down

And tell me about yourself

So you like my daughter do you now

Yeah we think she's something else

She's her daddy's girl

Her momma's world

She deserves respect

That's what she'll get

Now ain't it son

Y'all go out and have some fun

I'll see you when you get back

Probably be up all night

Still cleaning this gun

Now it's all for show

Ain't nobody gonna get hurt

It's just a daddy thing

And hey believe me it works

Come on in boy sit on down

And tell me about yourself

So you like my daughter do you now

Yeah we think she's something else

She's her daddy's girl

Her momma's world

She deserves respect

That's what she'll get

Now ain't it son

Y'all run along and have a little fun

I'll see you when you get back

Probably be up all night

Still cleaning this gun

Son now y'all buckle up

And have her back by

Te- let's say about nine thirty

Drive safe
