joy williams - preacher's daughter lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
his hands turn gold leaf pages
then taught me to tie my laces
he could build a house
strong as the good lord’s prayer
had two girls and never a son
left his job and anyone
for cardboard boxes full of sunday clothes to wear

[pre-chorus]
yeah, we’re all just who we are
the apple don’t fall far

[chorus]
preacher’s daughter, i love my father
turned wine from water in my eyes
bound together, sweet surrender
i forever know that i’m a preacher’s daughter

[verse 2]
i was the one he could not tame
bound to scuff up the family name
and at seventeen i took off on my own
and like his will, i would not bend
i guess i got my nerve from him
we were made of salt
we were never made of stone

[chorus]
preacher’s daughter, i love my father
turned wine from water in my eyes
bound together, sweet surrender
i forever know that i’m a preacher’s daughter
a preacher’s daughter

[verse 3]
i took him to the brink
he forgave me at the kitchen sink
like an altar, i laid all my burdens down
and the day that he p-ssed on
i lost a little piece of god
but i see his smile in the son that i have now

[chorus]
oh, preacher’s daughter, i love my father
turned wine from water in my eyes
bound together, heaven’s treasure
i forever know that i’m a preacher’s daughter
a preacher’s daughter
