Lyrics and translation
Original
Yee-haw (whoo-ooh)
Texas, Texas, (whoo-ooh) Texas
Came into this world, daddy's little girl
And daddy made a soldier out of me (whoo-ooh)
Daddy made me dance, and daddy held my hand (whoo-ooh)
And daddy liked his whiskey with his tea
And we rode motorcycles, Blackjack, classic vinyl
Tough girl is what I had to be
He said, "Take care of your mother, watch out for your sister"
And, oh, that's when he gave to me
With his gun and his head held high, he told me not to cry
Oh, my daddy said, "Shoot," oh, my daddy said, "Shoot"
With his right hand on his rifle, he swore it on the bible
My daddy said, "Shoot," oh, my daddy said, "Shoot"
He held in his arms and he taught me to be strong
He told me when he's gone, "Here's what you do
When trouble comes in town and men like me come around"
Oh, my daddy said, "Shoot," oh, my daddy said, "Shoot"
Whoo-ooh
(Yee, whoo) whoo-ooh (yee-haw, whoo)
Daddy made me fight, it wasn't always right
But he said, "Girl, it's your Second Amendment" (whoo-ooh)
He always played it cool, but daddy was no fool
And right before he died he said, "Remember"
He said, "Take care of your mother, watch out for your sister"
That's when daddy looked at me
With his gun, with his head held high, he told me not to cry
Oh, my daddy said, "Shoot," oh, my daddy said, "Shoot"
With his right hand on his rifle, he swore it on the bible
My daddy said, "Shoot" (yee), oh, my daddy said, "Shoot" (yee-haw)
'Cause he held in his arms and he taught me to be strong
And he told me when he's gone, "Here's what you do
When trouble comes in town and men like me come around"
Oh, my daddy said, "Shoot," oh, my daddy said, "Shoot" (whoo)
Whoo-ooh (whoo)
Whoo-ooh (whoo-ooh)
(Yee) whoo-ooh (yee)
(Yee) whoo-ooh (yee-haw)
My daddy warned me about men like you
He said, "Baby girl, he's playin' you (oh, oh, oh, oh)
He's playin' you" (whoo-ooh)
My daddy warned me about men like you
He said, "Baby girl, he's playin' you (yee)
He's playin' you (whoo-ooh)
'Cause when trouble comes in town and men like me come around"
Oh, my daddy said, "Shoot" (yee), oh, my daddy said, "Shoot" (yee-haw)
"'Cause when trouble comes to town and men like me come around"
Oh, my daddy said, "Shoot" (oh, oh, oh, oh), oh, my daddy said, "Shoot"
Good job Bey
