Your Perkins Girl

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a road I still remember, Gravel dust and open sky, You held the seat and let me pedal, Then let go and watched me fly. Pink camo four wheeler in the morning light, Little tomboy, holding tight, You called me Mojo, made me strong, Taught me where I belong, Dad. [Verse 2] You showed me how to check the oil, How to fix a broken thing, "Shake and bake" before the whistle, You believed in everything. Fear Factor birthdays, muddy knees, The son you never had in me, And these dimples that I wear, They're a piece of you I'll always share. [Chorus] So here's to the man who raised me right, Who drove all night just to make things clear, Who found my Jeep though you can't stand 'em, 'Cause you'd move the world to have me near. Every step, you walked beside me, Every dream, you helped me build. [Bridge] Now I'm standing in a white dress, And your eyes begin to shine, One more dance, one more moment, Before I start this life of mine. [Verse 3] There's a new road up ahead now, A vow, a ring, a brand new name, But the roots you planted deep in me, Dad, they'll never change. You gave me strength to walk away, And love enough to stay, So don't you cry, don't let me go, I'm still your girl, I love you so. [Chorus] So here's to the man who raised me right, Who taught me how to stand and how to dream, No matter where this life may lead me, I'll be your Perkins girl, it seems. [Outro] One last dance beneath these lights, Your little Mojo, holding tight, Forever, Dad, your Perkins girl tonight.
