He had his lighter on a leash

So take a deep breath

You've always been your daddy's girl

Nothing's gonna change that now"

Through the pink begonia's blue
   Em             Bm
Said, "Daddy, all I want is your silver belt buckle

And maybe your black Stetson hat"
        D
And both of us laughed about that

Not before I die
