Daughters

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 live outta Arkansas
 Rebel child with a [?]
 Love felt like a lie
 'Til 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
 I said, Lord
 Born to reach the stars
 But daughters break your heart
 I know I said Lord
 Cast the kids aside
 And sing a lifetime of good-byes, oh
