Preacher's Daughter Lyrics

[opens very soft and slow, to the tune of mona/shes the one]I got a date with the preachers daughterShe give me life she bring me water.Every sunday I watch her workPretty little (siff? ) in a pretty little churchDaddy gives her nod she takes collectionDaddy gives her nod she kneels by her side.Well Id sell my soul for just one touchThe lord would too if he loved her half as much.Well I got a date with the preachers daughter.Her daddy say that the boys no goodJust want to raise some (coons? ) out through the back woodsWell baby better believe what your daddy sayJust wanna ramrod baby my life away.Its a long walk to heaven and a road filled with sinAnd they better open up the freeway to let me in.cuz I got a date with the preachers daughterWell now I dont care what the preacher sayHaaaaayyyy[identical to haaaaayyyy, mona]Well now I dont care what the preacher doHaaaaayyyyI dont care what the preacher likeHaaaaayyyyI dont care what the preacher thinkHaaaaayyyyLeads me to water but wont let me drink.He leads me to water but wont let me drink.(big man)[maracas start, music picks up, bruce starts yelling]And now its (whole little world? ) on saturday nightTwo boys fighting in a halo of lightCar door flung open and a radio loudAnd everybody shouting and running around.Two guys bloody and one I dont knowAnd all little girls shouting go billy goGo billy go.Well just as I got the preachers daughter ready for a lightAnd (missed a vh fire? ) and something aint right.And like a she-devil howlin from the gates of hellGoddam here come the preacher in his coupe devilleBurnin up the backroad kicking in the dirtAnd oh baby preacher thinks he is churchWell now your lips they shine in the willow mistAnd I swear Id take you down (young croft? ) for just one kissI got a date with the preachers daughterI got a date with the preachers daughterAnd its haaaaayyyyooooI got a date with the preachers daughterHmmmmm...
