Today was a very productive day. After purchasing a new painting for Matt's house, we ran other errands and ended up at dinner with my parents. I'm not sure which is more random- my parents OR the fact that we ran in to them in Fort Smith unexpectedly. (Love ya, Mom!) =)
Much of today was spent in the car-- driving to Fort Smith, to Tenkiller, cruising around Fort Smith, and back home. I listened to a lot of music today, country particularly. There is one song out right now that gets me every time. I can't keep dry eyes when I hear it. Thanks, Colt Fort and Craig Morgan for rapping about being 'daddy's little girl', which I know I always will be. =)
Here's the tear-jerker.....
She Likes to Ride in Trucks
Colt Ford & Craig Morgan
It seems like yesterday we were bringing you home
I was so scared to hold you, now I'm scared to let go
Know that growin' up was just a part of your life
From baby to young lady, from woman to wife
Not everything I do seems to be wrong
Dear God, will you please let her hear my song
This road life leads could be so long
Lord I pray that she will always know her way home
She likes to ride in trucks
She don't need me around, near as much
I wish I could slow her down
But my baby's growin' up
And she likes to ride in trucks
Man it's funny how time flies when I look in her eyes
I used to see me, now I see him
As life didn't know he'd became a man
And I realized that I used to be him
She used to run to me, now she's runnin' for the door
Chasin' my own dreams and doing my own thing
It's time for you to make your own mark in the world
But to me you'll always be daddy's little girl
Yes, she likes to ride in trucks
She don't need me around, near as much
I wish I could slow her down
But my baby's growin' up
She likes to ride in trucks
When he shook my hand and looked me in the eyes
He promised me that she'd be home on time
(Yeah he's a pretty good kid) Oh yeah
(But I was sixteen once)
She likes to ride in trucks
She don't need me around, near as much
I wish I could slow her down
But my baby's growin' up
She likes to ride in trucks
I wish I could slow her down
But my baby's growin' up
She likes to ride in trucks
*Trucks, Corvettes, ATVs, Boats..... I'll pretty much ride in anything with him-- or my daddy. :)
