(With Dolly Parton)
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
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
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 passed on a legacy
Wrapped up in a melody
And I carry on
Searching for gold
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 me like holy water
I am my father's daughter
And every time I step on stage
And the music finds me
I don't need gold to remind me
I am my father's daughter
I have my Grandma's eyes
I am the product of such 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
Oh, I am my father's daughter
