Daddy Would’ve Forgiven Her By Now

[Verse 1] It was supposed to be us against the world, But it don’t feel like you’re on my team. Lately every little conversation Feels like you versus me. I got tired of going in circles. You got tired of hearing me out. So I pointed my truck toward home… Still convinced I’d figure it out. [Pre-Chorus] That came out harsher than I meant it But that doesn’t make me wrong. I never would have had to say it If you listened all along. [Chorus] Daddy would’ve forgiven her by now. Mama’s smile meant more than being right. He’d never let his pride get in the way Of a peaceful family night. He’d say if you’ve got ought against your brother Get it fixed before you go to bed. Holding grudges weighs so much more Then just letting them go instead. He would’ve told Mama how she’s the gift That he still prays for every day. Daddy would’ve forgiven her by now. Daddy would’ve forgiven her by now. [Verse 2] One more pointless argument. One more night gone wrong. One more hill we chose to die on That wasn’t worth it all along. You kept trying to get your point across. I kept trying to get mine. Next thing I knew I was driving home… Trying to justify. [Chorus] Daddy would’ve forgiven her by now. Mama’s smile meant more than being right. He’d never let his pride get in the way Of a peaceful family night. He’d say if you’ve got ought against your brother Get it fixed before you go to bed. Holding grudges weighs so much more Then just letting them go instead. He would’ve told Mama how she’s the gift That he still prays for every day. Daddy would’ve forgiven her by now. Daddy would’ve forgiven her by now. [Bridge] Before I even killed the engine, I could see through the kitchen light. There they were… just being them. Like every other night. The way they look at each other’s eyes Like they’re in their own little world Makes me realize, that maybe I should act like daddy’s girl. [Chorus] Daddy would’ve forgiven her by now. Mama’s smile meant more than being right. He’d never let his pride get in the way Of a peaceful family night. He’d say if you’ve got ought against your brother Get it fixed before you go to bed. Holding grudges weighs so much more Then just letting them go instead. He would’ve told Mama how she’s the gift That he still prays for every day. Daddy would’ve forgiven her by now. Daddy would’ve forgiven her by now.
