			My daughter's Sweet Sixteen birthday party is coming up in a couple of weeks and I dunno, this one has been on my mind lately....
 CLEANING THIS GUN - Rodney Atkins
 
 The Declaration of Independence
 Think I could tell you that first sentence
 But then I’m lost
 
 I can't begin to count the theories
 I've had pounded in my head
 That I forgot
 
 I don't remember all that Spanish
 Or the Gettysburg address
 But there is one speech from high school
 I'll never forget
 
 (Chorus)
 Come on in boy sit on down
 And tell me about yourself
 So you like my daughter do you now?
 Yeah we think she's something else
 She's her daddy's girl
 Her mama's world
 She deserves respect
 That’s what she'll get
 Ain’t it son?
 Hey y'all run along and have some fun
 I'll see you when you get back
 Bet I’ll be up all night
 Still cleanin' this gun
 
 Well now that I’m a father
 I’m scared to death one day my daughter
 Is gonna find
 That teenage boy I used to be
 That seems to have just one thing on his mind
 
 She’s growin' up so fast
 It won't be long before
 I’ll have to put the fear of god into
 Some kid at the door
 
 (Chorus)
 Come on in boy sit on down
 And tell me about yourself
 So you like my daughter do you now?
 Yeah we think she's something else
 She's her daddy's girl
 Her mama's world
 She deserves respect
 That’s what she'll get
 Now ain't it son?
 Y’all go out and have some fun
 I'll see you when you get back
 Probably be up all night
 Still cleanin' this gun
 
 Now it's all for show
 Ain’t nobody gonna get hurt
 It’s just a daddy thing
 And hey, believe me, man it works
 
 (Chorus)
 Come on in boy sit on down
 And tell me about yourself
 So you like my daughter do you now?
 Yeah we think she's something else
 She's her daddy's girl
 Her mama's world
 She deserves respect
 That’s what she'll get
 Now ain't it son?
 Y’all run along and have a little fun
 I'll see you when you get back
 Probably be up all night
 Still cleanin' this gun
 
 Son, now y'all buckle up and have her back by te- let's say about nine...thirty.
 Drive safe.
