[Verse 1]
When I'm feeling confused and falling behind
When I get lost in the everyday paycheck grind
I take a step back, change my focus
I live right there in that moment
Look for the rhinestone silver line
I keep going, yeah, and I
[Chorus]
Do it for that girl, yeah, she was eight or nine
Losing all track of time in ribbons and curls
I do it for that girl just turning thirteen
With a karaoke machine, on top of the world
If there was any way she could see me today
I hope she'd stop and say
"I wanna be that girl," that girl, that girl
I do it for that girl, that girl, that girl
[Verse 2]
I ain't afraid of doing hard work
I don't take less than what I damn sure know I deserve (Know I deserve)
People say that I want too much and I must be out my mind
They can all just watch my life
[Chorus]
Do it for that girl, yeah, she was seventeen
Dreaming of Tennessee and hitting the road
I do it for that girl just turning twenty-one
Finding out who she was after her heart broke
If there was any way she could see me today
I hope she'd stop and say
"I wanna be that girl," that girl, that girl
I do it for that girl, that girl, that girl
[Bridge]
So I'm that girl
Risking it all, ain't afraid of the fall, no matter the height
I'll be that girl
Making the most of her life
I do it for that girl, that girl, that girl
I do it for that girl, that girl, that girl, yeah
[Chorus]
I do it for that girl I'm looking at in the mirror
Sometimes she needs to hear the best ain't come yet
I do it for that girl who's gonna be eighty-five
Looking back on her life with no regret
If there was any way she could see me today
I hope she'd stop and say
"I wanna be that girl," that girl, that girl
So I do it for that girl, that girl, that girl, yeah
[Outro]
(Do it for that girl, that girl, that girl)
(Do it for that girl, that girl, that girl)
