Preacher's Daughter

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
