They made their way down to Lafayette
Living off candy bars and cigarettes
Another broken family
Runaway and a casualty
Daddy's little angel
They wouldn't find her way down hereI said, Lord
Born to reach the stars
But daughters break your heart
Oh, oh, woah
Cast the kids aside
And sing a lifetime of good-byes
He was a savior
He was an anchor, mirror of all the memories she could forget
Don't matter if the money's gone
They die with their boots still on
'Cause victory will someday atone for our regretsAnd, I said, Lord
Born to reach the stars
But daughters break your heart
Oh, oh, woah
Cast the kids aside
And sing a lifetime of good-byes, ohBreaking down her childhood
Never did her mind much good
History repeats, but heartache is homegrown
They live outta Arkansas
Rebel child with a [?]
Love felt like a lie
'Til he came along
And I said, Lord
Born to reach the stars
But daughters break your heart
Oh, oh, woah
Cast the kids aside
And sing a lifetime of good-byes, hey
I said, Lord
Born to reach the stars
But daughters break your heart
I know I said Lord
Cast the kids aside
And sing a lifetime of good-byes, oh
