The Refreshments - Preacher's Daughter lyrics

rate me

Well I was born on the thirsty earth

Showed up in Tucson,

Fresh out of Leavenworth

Did my time on stale bread and dirty water

Nobody told me that the lady was a preacher's daughter

Yeah how her arms would hold me

When we kissed, she never told me

I'd be the Lamb for her slaughter

She's my preacher's daughter

Got loose from my incarceration

I paid a visit to her Daddy's congregation

Welcome home she said, your lookin' good too

Meet my new husband, he's the sheriff who arrested you

Yeah how her arms would holds me

When we kissed, she never told me

I'd be the Lamb for a slaughter

'Cause She's my preacher's daughter

YEAH

So I said my congratulations

Before I lost myself in my infatuation

I stole a kiss or two just havin' fun again

She really don't like it

Now I'm back on the run again

How her arms would hold me

When we kissed, she never told me

I'd be the lamb for her slaughter

Like the desert needs the water

Give me back my preacher's daughter

Preacher's daughter

Preacher's daughter

Preacher's daughter

YEAH
