I think it's about a girl (daughter of the narator) that is growing up, becoming a teenager. The song sort of sounds like a lullaby because while the father accepts she's growing up, he wants her to know that whatever happens, she'll still be his little girl.
She's a drama queen both for the classic baby tantrums as much as the classic "I hate my parents!" teenage tantrums. He's letting her grow up and experience things that everyone must learn at some point; for example, "You better call a lawyer" and "She is so wild and reckless" since a usual symptom of becoming a teenager is acting rebellious and sometimes getting in trouble with the law. Throughout the song you can see she experiences darker turns in life that turn her from a drama queen into a young woman "I think she's going phsyco", "From here to San Fransico" and "Her life is now unfolding" because she is experiencing the memories that will shape her into who she is.
A line that's repeated a few times is "She's old to bleed now" which I first I only thought of as "she's old enough to get her heart broken and get hurt now" but if you let it sink in a bit, you realize it may also be speaking about her period, which starts during puberty. I like to think it means both she is a teenager and gets her period and she's old enough to get emotionally hurt now.
