Preacher's Daughter |
| His hands turn gold leaf pages |
| Then taught me to tie my laces |
| He could build a house |
| Strong as the good lord’s prayer |
| Had two girls and never a son |
| Left his job and anyone |
| For cardboard boxes full of Sunday clothes to wear |
| Yeah, we’re all just who we are |
| The apple don’t fall far |
| Preacher’s daughter, I love my father |
| Turned wine from water in my eyes |
| Bound together, sweet surrender |
| I forever know that I’m a preacher’s daughter |
| I was the one he could not tame |
| Bound to scuff up the family name |
| And at seventeen I took off on my own |
| And like his will, I would not bend |
| I guess I got my nerve from him |
| We were made of salt |
| We were never made of stone |
| Preacher’s daughter, I love my father |
| Turned wine from water in my eyes |
| Bound together, sweet surrender |
| I forever know that I’m a preacher’s daughter |
| A preacher’s daughter |
| I took him to the brink |
| He forgave me at the kitchen sink |
| Like an altar, I laid all my burdens down |
| And the day that he passed on |
| I lost a little piece of God |
| But I see his smile in the son that I have now |
| Oh, preacher’s daughter, I love my father |
| Turned wine from water in my eyes |
| Bound together, heaven’s treasure |
| I forever know that I’m a preacher’s daughter |
| A preacher’s daughter |
