Daddy I Told You Lyrics
Daddy, I told you I was gonna fly
I'd get outta that town alive
Don't worry, I kept your name
And your picture in a frame
Just like you, I got a light in my heart
It won't let me fall apart
I'll always be your little girl
I love you more than this whole world
And daddy, I told you
Remember how you made me sing them hymns
On the back porch
Daddy, don't you know I'm carryin'
Your spirit like a torch
Daddy, I told you I was gonna fly
I'd get outta that town alive
Don't worry, I kept your name
And your picture in a frame
Just like you, I got a light in my heart
It won't let me fall apart
I'll always be your little girl
I love you more than this whole world
And daddy, I told you
Brother's havin' babies, Mama's gettin' strong
Things are changin'
Daddy, I think you knew it all along
I keep chasin' down a dream
It's bigger than you and me
Daddy, I told you I was gonna fly
I'd get outta that town alive
Don't worry, I kept your name
And your picture in a frame
Just like you, I got a light in my heart
And it won't let me fall apart
I'll always be your little girl
I love you more than this whole world
And daddy, I told you
I'd get outta that town alive
Don't worry, I kept your name
And your picture in a frame
It won't let me fall apart
I'll always be your little girl
I love you more than this whole world
And daddy, I told you
On the back porch
Daddy, don't you know I'm carryin'
Your spirit like a torch
I'd get outta that town alive
Don't worry, I kept your name
And your picture in a frame
It won't let me fall apart
I'll always be your little girl
I love you more than this whole world
And daddy, I told you
Things are changin'
Daddy, I think you knew it all along
I keep chasin' down a dream
It's bigger than you and me
I'd get outta that town alive
Don't worry, I kept your name
And your picture in a frame
And it won't let me fall apart
I'll always be your little girl
I love you more than this whole world
And daddy, I told you

This song is about a (new) woman who has a supportive dad. Her dad always wanted her to have better than he had and to “get out” of the town that they are from. She notes that things are changing, and along with change she sees in other people, she sees herself changing for the better.
It is a song of hope.
