[Em] [G] Well God and his infinite wisdom decided to give me two boys instead of two girls because I don't think I don't think I could
Have handled it.
I do have four nieces though.
And so I'm starting to understand a little bit about protecting girls
This is for dads with daughters.
I wrote this a little while ago
And if I had a daughter this is exactly how I'd feel
This goes out to you men out there with the shotgun just waiting on them to turn 15
So you can scare the living hell out of these boys, here we go.
He walked up my porch
shook [D] my hand
Picked up [C] my daughter
Yes, sir.
And [D] yes, ma'am
We shut the door
My wife slapped me
She said he's a gentleman.
Why [G] don't you look happy?

found the [D] bench press
Could have [A] thrown 250 [D] about [G] 14 times.
I paced the house
Looked out the [D] window
[G] Till his truck pulled in at 1159
[Am] Then he walked her to the [G] door to get a kiss.

ready
[A] [Am] Five years later, they're in [B] love and [C] going on their honeymoon
He's [Am] growing on me, but our family [C] graveyard still got extra room
[E] Cause that boy's a loaded gun.
It ain't all about some fun
