Michelle Malone - PREACHERS DAUGHTER lyrics

From the Album: Stompin' Ground (SBS Records) The Preacher’s Daughter Michelle Malone (STRANGE BIRD SONGS/ASCAP) I don’t know where I’m going, but I know where I been I got to keep moving, you know the road never ends My daddy keeps praying, my mama she cries Don’t you know that the preachers daughter got a long way to ride I was taught that the devil would come take my soul If I didn’t do just what my mama she told me But that was a long time ago, now I’m grown Don’t you know that the preacher’s daughter ran a long way from home Now I know that Jesus taught love and peace Like Budda and Ghandi and Mohammed believed And I want to love you, please baby please Can’t you see that the preacher’s daughter’s getting down on her knees Whenever I go back, go back to the fold Mama says that she loves me, and she prays for my soul I say mama don’t worry, but she disapproves Don’t you know that the preacher’s daughter got a long way to go I was taught that the devil would come take my soul If I didn’t do just what my mama she told me But that was a long time ago, now I’m grown Don’t you know that the preacher’s daughter ran a long way from home
