Country music band Little Big Town’s “The Daughters” makes a strong statement. Watch the music video and live late night performance here!
Country music group Little Big Town’s “The Daughters” music video was directed by Dano Cerny (The Chainsmokers, Wrabel, Elle King) over the course of two days in Portland, Tennessee. The retrospective narrative glimpses at the 50s, 80s, and finally current day with gorgeous performance footage, and contemporary dance woven throughout.
“The Daughters” has garnered support and high-praise from peers, fans, and press alike since the song’s release last Friday and its television world premiere during the 2019 ACM Awards in April. Many were brought to tears during the ethereal performance which featured the foursome surrounded by 26 female dancers of every age, race, size, and shape. This was the first new music to drop from the band’s upcoming ninth studio album, Nightfall.
“The Daughters” Lyrics
Oh girl, wash your face ‘fore you come to the table
Girl, know your place, be willing and able
Take it on the chin, let the best man win
Girl, shoulders back and stand up straight
Girl, watch your mouth and watch your weight
Mind your manners, smile for the camera
And pose like a trophy on a shelf
Dream for everyone but not yourself
I’ve heard of God the Son and God the Father
I’m still looking for a God for the daughters
Girl don’t be weak and don’t be strong
Say what you want just as long
As you nod your head with your lipstick on
And pose like a trophy on a shelf
And dream for everyone but not yourself
I’ve heard of God the Son and God the Father
I’m just looking for a God for the daughters
Wash the dishes, feed the kids and clean up all this mess
Do my best, forgive myself and look good in this dress
Damn I look good in this dress
And pose like a trophy on a shelf
I’ll dream for everyone but not myself
I’ve heard of God the Son and God the Father
And damn I love my son, I love my father
I’m just looking for a God for the daughters
I’m just looking for a God for the daughters
For the daughters
I’m just looking for a God
For the daughters
For the daughters
