Dolly Parton - My Father's Daughter lyrics

[Verse 1: Jewel] She stepped off of the boat to see flowers in his hands The man she would marry was as hard as the mountains She had his children in a log cabin Soon I'd be another star in this family's constellation In the land of the midnight sun Searching for gold [Chorus: Jewel] I am my father's daughter He has his mother's eyes I am the product of her sacrifice I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations And their stories live in me like holy water I am my father's daughter [Verse 2: Dolly Parton] My father raised me in an old log cabin And he sang for me the songs his mother sang to him In honky-tonks, and empty bars, just me and him And that old guitar He pa**ed on a legacy wrapped up in a melody And I carry on Searching for gold [Chorus: Jewel & Dolly Parton] I am my father's daughter I have his eyes I am the product of his sacrifice I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations And their stories live in my like holy water I am my father's daughter [Bridge] [Jewel] And every time I step on stage [Dolly Parton] And the music finds me [Jewel & Dolly Parton] I don't need gold to remind me [Chorus] [Jewel] I am my father's daughter I have my Grandma's eyes I am the product of such sacrifice [Jewel & Dolly Parton] I am the accumulation of the dreams of generations And their stories live in me like holy water I am my father's daughter Oh, I am my father's daughter
