Daddy I don’t mean to make you cry, mean to keep you up at night Sittin on the front porch looking out for my head lights
Say a prayer and count some sheep, Close your eyes and try to sleep Oh daddy don’t daddy don’t’ daddy don’t worry about me
CHORUS
You taught me everything I need to know
So it’s okay to let your baby go
Oh daddy don’t daddy don’t daddy don’t worry about me
I know good and wrong from right
Fire burns and boys tell lies
And if it comes down to it I know how to fight
CHORUS
You know I know I can hold my own
So its okay to let your baby go
Oh daddy don’t daddy don’t daddy don’t worry about me
Don’t want you to see me cry, it’s bittersweet to say goodbye
But you gave me wings and now I’ve got to fly
I’m heading down to Tennessee, I’m gonna do you proud you’ll see Oh daddy
CHORUS
Life’s a never ending turning twisting road
But I know I can find my way back home
Oh daddy don’t daddy don’t daddy don’t worry about me
So say a prayer and count some sheep, Close your eyes and try to sleep Oh daddy don’t daddy don’t’ daddy don’t worry about me

Irresistible classic country music abounds on “Listening To The Music,” full of lap steel, walking bass, and heartwarming melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 5, 2020
A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house." Caoimhín
