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
