Whiskey straight, let it burn
Cowboys don't cry, that's what I learned
Yeah growing up, you gotta be tough
If you wanna be a man

So I hid my tears every time I hurt
Never wore my feelings on the sleeve of my shirt
Oh but that all changed
On the day I became a father

I guess that's why
God made daughters

It's been known to turn guys just like me
To the kind of man I never thought I'd be
A lay me down, tuck me in, reader daddy once again
And so begins the best days of my life

Yeah I guess that's why
God made daughters

When these two hands first held your clothes
I kissed your face, oh heaven knows
That deep inside this heart of mine
Became so much softer

Yeah I guess that's why
God made daughters

It's been known to turn guys just like me
To the kind of man I never thought I'd be
A lay me down, tuck me in, reader daddy once again
And so begins the best days of my life

I guess that's why
God made daughters

Now when I lay her down, tuck her in
Turn out the lights, whispering
Thank you for the best day of my life

Now I know why
God made daughters
Why God made daughters
