Lyrics

You Go Girl
(Words and Music by Charlie Nault

She said “daddy I wanna play hockey,
But there’s no girls on the team.
I said “Are you sure Peanut? That’s a tough sport
And those boys can sure be mean.
But with pure determination in her eyes
She said “I’m tough too Dad,
Won’t you please just let me try?”

So I said: (CHORUS)
You go girl, don’t let anybody tell you, you can’t do it
Please know that I’m right here if you need help to get you through it
I’ve loved you since the moment we first met
‘cause I’m your Dad, and that’s as strong as love can get

Years later on a high school field
I watched Pickles throw a shotput
She’d outgrown the nickname Peanut
And hurled that ball almost 15 yards
Then with that same determined look she threw back her hair
She said “watch this Dad, I smell a PR in the air!”

I said “You go Girl!” (Short Instrumental Lead)
Spoken: She got real serious with me one day, while we were fishing up in Maine;

She said Daddy please sit down, there something I’ve got to say
I met someone so special about a year ago last May
She makes me feel Love, like no man could ever do
And through tears she said “Dad I’m so afraid of disappointing you….”

What’s a Dad to do….

(CHORUS)
…I’m your Dad, and that’s as strong as love can get…
