Lyrics Old 97’s – Brown Haired Daughter
Text:
And I tried
And I know what we are
Yeah, I saw it in a strange dream
We’re a mess
I’m afraid
That this is the real thing
And I tried
Tried to leave it all alone
Send your brown haired daughter home
But I can’t
So I won’t
And you ought to hear my heart curse
We’re in love
IN a way
And it’s only making it worse
And I tried
Tried to leave it all alone
Send your brown haired daughter home
And I’d like
Yeah I’d like to let her be
That this is the real thing
And I tried
Tried to leave it all alone
Send your brown haired daughter home
But I can’t
So I won’t
And you ought to hear my heart curse
We’re in love
IN a way
And it’s only making it worse
And I tried
Tried to leave it all alone
Send your brown haired daughter home
And I’d like
Yeah I’d like to let her be
Set your brown haired daughter free
Yeah, it’s strange
How we are
So safe until we’re sorry
On a dime
On a dare
And it’s not my fault she loves me
And I tried
Tried to leave it all alone
Send your brown haired daughter home
And I’d like
Yeah I’d like to let her be
Set your brown haired daughter free
And I tried
Tried to leave it all alone
Send your brown haired daughter home
But I can’t
So I won’t
Yeah I’d like to let her be
Set your brown haired daughter free
And I tried
Tried to leave it all alone
Send your brown haired daughter home
But I can’t
So I won’t
