Songtext von My Father’s Daughter (feat. Dolly Parton)

She stepped off of the boat to see flowers in his hands The man she would marry was as hard as the mountains She had his children in a log cabin Soon I'd be another star in this family's constellation In the land of the midnight Sun Searching for gold I am my father's daughter He has his mother's eyes I am the product of her sacrifice I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations And their stories live in me like holy water I am my father's daughter My father raised me in an old log cabin And he sang for me the songs his mother sang to him In honky-tonks, and empty bars, just me and him And that old guitar He passed on a legacy wrapped up in a melody And I carry on Searching for gold I am my father's daughter I have his eyes I am the product of his sacrifice I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations And their stories live in me like holy water I am my father's daughter And every time I step on stage And the music finds me I don't need gold to remind me I am my father's daughter I have my Grandma's eyes I am the product of such sacrifice I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations And their stories live in me like holy water I am my father's daughter Oh, I am my father's daughter
