From the recording The Cost of Everything and the Value of Nothing
Lyrics
When I first met you
You were just a baby
And your mama raised you
That first year on her own
And though it seemed
The whole town knew her story
I had never met a woman so alone
My grandpa told me
After my last carwreck
He said, "Son there must be a reason you ain't dead"
But to tell you the truth
Before I met you girl
I'm not sure I ever believed
A word that he said
They say that everything here happens for a reason
But I don't care if it don't mean a thing
You'll always be your daddy's little princess
And you'll always be my little drama queen
They say that it's insane
How quick you grow up
And one day we'll wake up and you'll be gone
And someday you might go
Looking for some answers
Well, I hope that you find
We never did you wrong
Sweetheart I'm sure glad I met your mama
And I don't regret giving her that diamond ring
You'll always be your daddy's little princess
And you'll always be my little drama queen
