After school the kids in her neighborhood went past the blue house Straight to the woods Became pirates, knights, and princesses Making worlds only six year olds could But her daddy never let her walk behind that house Said "it is dangerous for us" There must be big monsters, bears, and spiders That can kill you with just one bite Screaming witches with silver hair howling into the night She didn't know that what could kill her wasn't in that haunted hole It was a white man, big gun, blue house Dixie flag on his pole, now she knows what daddy knows "It's not fair that I can't play there Just like all of my friends do each day" She cried to daddy when he told her "no baby girl" And then just walked away She can only imagine now how much it hurt to hide his fear That his precious daughter could be a target around here Because there's big monsters, bears, and spiders That can kill you with one bite Screaming witches with silver hair, vampires roaming the night She didn't know that what could kill her wasn't in that haunted hole It was a white man, big gun, blue house Dixie flag on his pole, now she knows what daddy knows ABCs, 123s Daddy taught her everything He said there's big monsters, bears, and spiders That can kill you with one bite Screaming witches with silver hair, growing strange fruit in the night She didn't know that what could kill her wasn't in that haunted hole It was a white man, a big gun, blue house Dixie flag on his pole, now she knows what daddy knows Now she knows what daddy knows Now she knows what daddy knows
