Stay Away From My Daughter
A song to mark the occasion of my daughter's 18 birthday.
Solo original acoustic songs looking for someone to beg,borrow or steal and make famous,because Lord knows I ain't got the guts.Taking the 'O' out of Country,if

Story behind the song
Well,
My daughter is 18 now and I want men to stay away from her.
Lyrics
As she blows out the candles,
Each one signifies
One year of her existence,
And one tear in my eyes
'cause it's so hard to watch her,
Blossom into 18
And become the next member,
Of the Jasper bar scene
Stay away from my daughter,
Now it's for your own sake
If you think that I'm joking ,
That is your first mistake
'cause I know that your tempted,
But please don't cross that line
Stay away from my daughter,
And we'll get along just fine.
Now I'll do you this favour,
And warn you in advance
'cause she's way out of your league,
And you don't stand a chance
Don't even ask for her number,
'cause she just might give you mine
Stay away from my daughter,
And we'll get along just fine.
Now I'll walk out the front door,
When I'm finished this song
But if you think I can't see you,
You could not be more wrong
'cause I'm in every dark corner,
I'm under every table and chair
Hell I'm even up in the rafters,
Can you feel my stare ?
She's still our precious little Bubba,
Even though she's 18
And I've got a bad temper,
And her mom's twice as mean
See these veins on my forehead,
That is not a good sign
So stay away from my daughter,
And we'll get along just fine.
Now you might be Prince Charming,
And a true gentleman.
And respectful to women,
But I hope you understand
I might give you permission,
When she turns 29 (but for now)
Stay away from my daughter,
And we'll get along just fine.
Just a great song in every way, Lou--intense, funny but not really, and deeply felt. Great work, man.
