I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
When you broke my heart, I wanted to
Cut the breakline on your four-wheel drive
And poison your Pabst Blue Ribbon
When you drug my name all through the mud
I was dying to do the same, but I held my tongue
'Cause that ain't Christian
And you might be laughing now
But what goes around comes around
So I hope you have a daughter and I hope that she's a fox
Daddy's little girl, just as sweet as she is hot
She can't help but love them boys
Who love to love and leave them girls just like her father
Yeah, karma's a bitch, so I hope you have a daughter
When them boys pick her up wearing cheap cologne
Younger versions of yourself so you'll know when they drive off
What they're thinking
You had some real good lines and they will too
I bet you'll have a come-to-Jesus when they're being used
On your baby
And you'll want to kick their ass, but hey pot, that kettle's black
So I hope you have a daughter and I hope that she's a fox
You get a little grayer every time you hear a knock
She can't help but love them boys
Who love to love and leave them girls just like her father
Yeah, karma's a bitch, so I hope you have a daughter
Yeah, it kind of makes me sad
That she'll be the one to get you back
So I hope you have a daughter and I hope that she's a fox
Daddy's little girl, just as sweet as she is hot
She can't help but love them boys
Who love to love and leave them girls just like her father
Yeah, karma's a bitch, so I hope you have a daughter
You son-of-a-bitch, I hope you have a daughter
Cut the breakline on your four-wheel drive
And poison your Pabst Blue Ribbon
When you drug my name all through the mud
I was dying to do the same, but I held my tongue
'Cause that ain't Christian
And you might be laughing now
But what goes around comes around
So I hope you have a daughter and I hope that she's a fox
Daddy's little girl, just as sweet as she is hot
She can't help but love them boys
Who love to love and leave them girls just like her father
Yeah, karma's a bitch, so I hope you have a daughter
When them boys pick her up wearing cheap cologne
Younger versions of yourself so you'll know when they drive off
What they're thinking
You had some real good lines and they will too
I bet you'll have a come-to-Jesus when they're being used

And you'll want to kick their ass, but hey pot, that kettle's black
So I hope you have a daughter and I hope that she's a fox
You get a little grayer every time you hear a knock
She can't help but love them boys
Who love to love and leave them girls just like her father
Yeah, karma's a bitch, so I hope you have a daughter
Yeah, it kind of makes me sad

So I hope you have a daughter and I hope that she's a fox
Daddy's little girl, just as sweet as she is hot

Who love to love and leave them girls just like her father
Yeah, karma's a bitch, so I hope you have a daughter
You son-of-a-bitch, I hope you have a daughter
