Old Enough To Be Her Daddy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She was raised up in the sticks got married too quick The day she turned 19 To a guy that wouldn't work, a certified jerk Drunk and lazy and mean So she took off to Memphis in the dead of night Lookin' for a fresh coat of paint on her life Not long after she stepped off that Greyhound bus Man that little girl had a change of luck [Chorus] He's old enough to be her Daddy She loves to snuggle up in his Caddy That Ruth Chris streak, merlot wine Beats that value meal every time They don't carе what the people arе sayin' They're in love and they ain't playin' He's old enough to be her Daddy But she loves it when he calls her baby [Verse 2] Well he worked like a slave Climbed the ladder everyday No time for a family His career was always first, so for better or for worse He was footloose and fancy-free He was staring at forty when it finally hit him What good is all this stuff without a real best friend Then down on Beal Street where the good times roll He found a diamond in the rough with a heart of gold [Chorus] He's old enough to be her Daddy She loves to snuggle up in his Caddy That Ruth Chris streak, merlot wine Beats that value meal every time They don't care what the people are sayin' They're in love and they ain't playin' He's old enough to be her Daddy But she loves it when he calls her baby [Outro] He's old enough to be her Daddy She loves to snuggle up in his Caddy He's old enough to be her Daddy They're in love and they ain't playin' He's old enough to be her Daddy But she loves it when he calls her baby (Oh, Come here baby) (Yeah)
