Country father/daughter songs?

Summer, on April 11, 2018 at 4:11 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 29

I want to do a country song for F/D dance, preferably an older one. Initially I wanted to do either George Strait, Alabama, Brooks & Dunn, or Alan Jackson because that's the style I used to listen to with my dad as a child, but I can't find any of their songs that make sense.

I have already considered:

Baby Blue but it's about his daughter who died young and I just think that's too sad

Drive (for Daddy Gene) but I don't like it as a dance song

Cowgirls Don't Cry but again, it's sad as the dad dies at the end

I'm not a fan of Heartland or Tim McGraw either..

Hoping for some unique suggestions, thanks!

    Butterfly Fly Away by Miley Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus is a good one.

    What about I cross my heart by George Strait? I know it’s probably thought of as a love song, but the lyrics are also really fitting for a father/daughter.

    You Are My Sunshine - Johnny Cash

    Tough Little Boys - Gary Allan

    Forever Young - Stoney LaRue

    Diamonds and Daughters - Aaron Watson

    Daddies and Daughters - Kevin Fowler or Lee Roy Parnell versions

    Rope the Moon - John Michael Montgomery

    I know some of these are newer but they're still red dirt country, so it's closer to the sound of classic country.

    Your Daddy's Boots by Dustin Lynch! Some of the lyrics:
    "He was the first to hold your hand, the first to dry your tears we had a man to man and now I'm taking it from here, I made him a promise and girl I promise you I'll always do the best that I can do. I'm gonna have a hell of a time trying to fill your Daddy's boots."
    It's a perfect song for the occasion

    Lol that would be hilarious but wouldn't make much sense since FH has guns and dad doesn't!

    I thought about that, love that song but I don't know if it's appropriate when it says "you'll never find a love as true as mine" since we're there to celebrate my marriage, to FH lol.

    My Dad decided on Heartland - I loved Her First but I also really liked To Make You Feel My Love by Garth Brooks. It's a little on the romantic side, but can also be interpreted as a father/daughter dance. At least I thought so. Good luck! I had a hard time finding a good country song for this and my musical taste is similar to yours. Rascal Flats wasn't going to happen Smiley winking

    I am dancing to "Dance with my daughter" by Jason Blaine. My dad has already passed away, so I'll be dancing with my uncle, with my FH joining us on the floor during the second verse to dance with our daughter.
