(Johnny Van-Zant - Robbie Gay - Larry Steele - Donnie Van-Zant)



A preacher's daughter

Her life is law and order

Her daddy holds her so (too) tight

She can't escape

She can't make no mistakes

She's finished with school

And now she's ready for life.



When a good girl turns bad

She changes over night

When a good girl turns bad

She's not (ain't) concerned about what's wrong or right

(She don't care about.)



Her pride is showing

She's hurt, and out to show 'em

The independence she's earned

She's not afraid

Of what they might say

Let them imagine whatever they want.



When a good girl turns bad

She's out to play (all) the games (s)

When a good girl turns bad

She'll take the credit but don't want the blame

(who's to blame?)



Preacher's daughter

Her life was law and order

Her daddy held her too tight

(No) she ain't afraid

Of what they might think

They've got to know

She's gonna run her on life (got control of her life.)



When a good girl turns bad

She's out to play the game

When a good girl turns bad

She'll take the credit (and she'll welcome the change)

But she don't want the blame...
