Man, I know people who have lost a loved oneAnd that one is probably gonna hit him right in the heartBut that's the beauty of Thomas Rhett and his songwritingHe touches people in very personal and relatable waysAnd I'll never forget the first time I saw a Youtube videoOf you performing this song on stageYou had just written it recentlyAnd you thought you'd try it out kind of acousticallyPeople went nutsBecause not only do so many people love you and your familySo, they knew that this was the songAbout your sweet precious daughtersBut I think a lot of people can relate to this songSo tell everybody about "To the guys who date my girls""Guys who date my girls"Is a song that I wrote in Alabama on The VHS Tour last yearAnd it was me and my dad and Josh Tomson and WilbandyAnd uhm, I'd had this conversation with a friend of mineAnd he was talking about, "Man, what are you gonna say to the guys""That walk up to your doorstep for the first time""And are asking your daughter out on the date, or whatever""Like are they going to come to the door?""Or are they going to stay in the driveway and honk?"'Cause if they stay in the driveway and honkThere is no way that I'm lettin' any of my kidsTo go out there and go on date with that person, uhmSo it kind of sparked this conversation of likeIf I could write a letter to the guys that are gonnaOne day wanna date my girls orYou know, hang out of our houseOr just kind of be within our family groupLike, what would I say to 'em?I'm I gonna be like the hard dadThat is like, "What are your intentions with my daughter?"Or am I gonna like befriend kid or am I gonnaYou know, what am I gonna do?And it just kind of turned into this list of thingsThat I wanted guys 16, 17 years old to knowWhen they're gonna, come pick up my kids for the first timeTo take 'em on the dateI remember we wrote that song in AlabamaAnd the same night on this stageI played that song for this crowdAnd it was like the first time I'd seenLike big barley men like cryingLike babies'Cause, and they started just grabbing their daughters and justYou know, I'm sure they were just like, "I love you"You know, all of that stuffAnd it's one of those ones that I thinkThat so many people can resonate withWhether you have girls or not?I think that the whole concept of likeWatching your kids grow upIt's somewhat of a bitter-sweet thingSo that really is just a conversation toThe guys that'd one day date my daughters
