She Likes To Ride In Trucks

It seems like yesterday we were bringing you home

I was so scared to hold you, now I'm scared to let go

Know that growin' up was just a part of your life

From baby to young lady, from woman to wife

Not everything I do seems to be wrong

Dear God, will you please let her hear my song

This road life leads could be so long

Lord I pray that she will always know her way home

She likes to ride in trucks

She don't need me around, near as much

I wish I could slow her down

But my baby's growin' up

And she likes to ride in trucks

Man it's funny how time flies when I look in her eyes

I used to see me, now I see him

As life didn't know he'd became a man

And I realized that I used to be him

She used to run to me, now she's runnin' for the door

Chasin' my own dreams and doing my own thing

It's time for you to make your own mark in the world

But to me you'll always be daddy's little girl

Yes, she likes to ride in trucks

She don't need me around, near as much

I wish I could slow her down

But my baby's growin' up

She likes to ride in trucks

When he shook my hand and looked me in the eyes

He promised me that she'd be home on time

(Yeah he's a pretty good kid) Oh yeah

(But I was sixteen once)

She likes to ride in trucks

She don't need me around, near as much

I wish I could slow her down

But my baby's growin' up

She likes to ride in trucks

I wish I could slow her down

But my baby's growin' up

She likes to ride in trucks
