| I don t know where I m going, but I know where I been
|
| I got to keep moving, you know the road never ends
|
| My daddy keeps praying, my mama she cries
|
| Don t you know that the preachers daughter got a long way to ride
|
| I was taught that the devil would come take my soul
|
| If I didn t do just what my mama she told me
|
| But that was a long time ago, now I m grown
|
| Don t you know that the preacher s daughter ran a long way from home
|
| Now I know that Jesus taught love and peace
|
| Like Budda and Ghandi and Mohammed believed
|
| And I want to love you, please baby please
|
| Can t you see that the preacher s daughter s getting down on her knees
|
| Whenever I go back, go back to the fold
|
| Mama says that she loves me, and she prays for my soul
|
| I say mama don t worry, but she disapproves
|
| Don t you know that the preacher s daughter got a long way to go
|
| I was taught that the devil would come take my soul
|
| If I didn t do just what my mama she told me
|
| But that was a long time ago, now I m grown
|
| Don t you know that the preacher s daughter ran a long way from home |
