My Little Girl Just Pedals On

Verse

Tiny hands in a princess gown

Twirlin' through the livin’ room, never slowin’ down

Pigtails flyin’ as she spins around

My whole world in a plastic crown

Tiny rod, little boat, calm lake

She caught a sunfish, I let her think it was great

Laughed so loud, made the whole world right

Just her and me in that morning light

Chorus

She’s bloomin’ like a rose, slow and sweet

From skinned-up knees to her own two feet

From daddy’s girl to standin’ strong

I’ve been right here all along

From princess dresses to that white lace

I walk beside her every place

From training wheels to where she’s gone

My little girl just pedals on

Verse

First bike ride down the gravel lane

I held the seat till she found her way

She wobbled once, then let me go

Didn’t know then how fast she'd grow

Now she’s packin’ up, movin’ out

Chasin' dreams she's dreamed about

Met a boy who treats her right

Said, “Daddy, he feels like home at night”

Chorus

She’s bloomin’ like a rose, slow and sweet

From skinned-up knees to her own two feet

From daddy’s girl to standin’ strong

I’ve been right here all along

From princess dresses to that white lace

I walk beside her every place

From fishing lines to the man she’s drawn

My little girl just pedals on

Bridge

And on that aisle, I’ll take her hand

Give her away like only a father can

With a smile and a tear I’ll say

“You’ve always known your way…”

Chorus

She bloomed like a rose, strong and free

From bedtime tales to destiny

From piggyback rides to movin’ on

She found the rhythm, sang her song

From fairy tales to vows so true

One thing never changed — I always knew

From day one till she's fully grown

My little girl just pedals on

Outro

Yeah, my little girl just pedals on...
