Preacher Man Songtext
von John Rich

I′m a son of a preacher man
Everybody calls him Brother Jim
Seems like I spent my life trying to live up to him
Well, he taught me wrong from right
Lord knows I still sin
Hey, I'm the son of a preacher man

Daddy said that the narrow road was the only road to take
But now I make my living on a tour bus rolling down interstates
All-nighters with cheaters and liars can sometimes test your faith
I′m still the son of a preacher man


Well, the good book says that Jesus ran with a party crowd
So I believe and pray them pearly gates are still where I'm bound
And I don't know if the life I chose makes my daddy proud
Of who I am
I′m just the son of a preacher man
Hey, of a preacher man

Most Sunday mornings I spend getting over Saturday night
While he′s down there preaching in
The pulpit singing "I Saw the Light"
And sometimes it's hard to look my mirror in the eye
Knowing I′m the son of a preacher man

Well, the good book says that Jesus ran with a party crowd
So I believe and pray them pearly gates are still where I'm bound
And I don′t know if the life I chose makes my daddy proud
Hey, I'm the son of a preacher man
Oh yeah

I′m just the son
I'm just the son
Hey, I'm the son of a preacher man
Hey, of a preacher man
