Preacher's Daughter Songtext

Preacher's Daughter Songtext
I was born in the thirsty earth
Showed up in Tucson, fresh out of Leavenworth
Did my time on stale bread and dirty water
Nobody told me that lady was the preacher′s daughter
Yeah, how her arms? ll hold me
(Tonight)
When we kissed she never told me
I? ll be the lamb for a slaughter
? Cause she's my preacher′s daughter
Got loose from my incarceration
I paid a visit to her Daddy's congregation
"Welcome home", she said, "You're lookin′ good too
Meet my new husband, he′s the sheriff who arrested you"
Yeah, how her arms? ll hold me
(Tonight)
When we kissed, she never told me
I? ll be the lamb for a slaughter
? Cause she's my preacher′s daughter, yeah
So I said my congratulations
Before I lost myself to my infatuation
I stole a kiss or two just havin' fun again
Sheriff don′t like it, now I'm back on the run again
How her arms? ll hold me
(Tonight)
When we kissed, she never told me
I? ll be the lamb for a slaughter
Like the desert needs the water
Give me back my preacher′s daughter
Preacher's daughter
Preacher's daughter
Preacher′s daughter
Yeah
Showed up in Tucson, fresh out of Leavenworth
Did my time on stale bread and dirty water
Nobody told me that lady was the preacher′s daughter
Yeah, how her arms? ll hold me
(Tonight)
When we kissed she never told me
I? ll be the lamb for a slaughter
? Cause she's my preacher′s daughter
Got loose from my incarceration
I paid a visit to her Daddy's congregation
"Welcome home", she said, "You're lookin′ good too
Meet my new husband, he′s the sheriff who arrested you"
Yeah, how her arms? ll hold me
(Tonight)
When we kissed, she never told me
I? ll be the lamb for a slaughter
? Cause she's my preacher′s daughter, yeah
So I said my congratulations
Before I lost myself to my infatuation
I stole a kiss or two just havin' fun again
Sheriff don′t like it, now I'm back on the run again
How her arms? ll hold me
(Tonight)
When we kissed, she never told me
I? ll be the lamb for a slaughter
Like the desert needs the water
Give me back my preacher′s daughter
Preacher's daughter
Preacher's daughter
Preacher′s daughter
Yeah
