When life tries to knock me down
And I don't see no way out
My faith has been shaken
The world has been taken
From underneath my feet

When the tears well up in my eyes
And I think about throwing the fight
A voice comes up from the past, saying
"Buck it up, girl! You gotta kick some ass! "

My daddy taught me
Don't let 'em see you sweat
Or get into your head
Stand tall with your head held high
If you want something done
Don't wait for someone to run
And do it all for you
Use your own two hands
Make your own damn plans
That's my daddy's creed
Oh, and I believe

It didn't seem like that long ago
I was just a young girl
The world filled with unknowns
Learning 'bout disappointments
Getting stopped in my tracks
When I learned those lessons
That'll always have my back

My daddy taught me
Don't let 'em see you sweat
Or get into your head
Stand tall with your head held high
If you want something done
Don't wait for someone to run
And do it all for you
Use your own two hands
Make your own damn plans
That's my daddy's creed
Oh, and I believe

So when I'm low
Ain't got nowhere to go
I know better
[?]
When a voice from the past
Always comes back
And I gotta thank my dad

'Cause my daddy taught me
Don't let 'em see you sweat
Or get into your head
Stand tall with your head held high
If you want something done
Don't wait for someone to run
And do it all for you
Use your own two hands
Make your own damn plans
That's my daddy's creed
Oh, and I believe

Oh, I believe
Oh, and I believe
Oh, and I believe
