He built the house that I grew up in Cut a trail to the creek, made us learn how to swim If you take patience and nerves of steel Weld it together, it's a hell of a shield Covered up what a kid shouldn't have to feel Forged in fire by a steady hand Like everything he made, I don't break, I don't bend He's the reason I can when I think I can't Yeah the best of him made me who I am I'm the daughter of an iron man (Ooo, ooo) Up by four, getting home by five Never had a doubt that we'd get by He held up the sky when it was falling When I need an answer, he's the one I'm calling Forged in fire by a steady hand Like everything he made, I don't break, I don't bend He's the reason I can when I think I can't Yeah the best of him made me who I am I'm the daughter of an iron man (Ooo, ooo) Self-made, selfless, top-shelf bourbon Showed me the blues when my heart was hurting Winning feels better when you gotta earn it He said, "you can catch a dream When you put the work in" Forged in fire by a steady hand Like everything he made, I don't break, I don't bend He's the reason I can when I think I can't Yeah the best of him made me who I am I'm the daughter of an iron man (Ooo, ooo) And I thank God I came from him I'm the daughter of an iron man
