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
Yeah, we're all just who we are The apple don't fall far
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
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
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
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 passed on I lost a little piece of God But I see his smile in the son that I have now
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
