Well 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 heah with her arms she holds me

When we kissed, she never told me

Lamb for a 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 heah with her arms she holds me

When we kissed, she never told me

Lamb for a slaughter

She's my preacher's daughter

YEAH

So I said my congratulations

'Bout 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

Yeah heah with her arms she holds me

When we kissed, she never told me

Now I know I'm gonna slaughter

Like the desert needs the water

Give me back my preacher's daughter

Preacher's daughter

Preacher's daughter

Preacher's daughter

YEAH
