Preacher's Daughter

His hands turn gold leaf pages
 Then taught me to tie my laces
 He could build a house
 Strong as the good lord's prayer
 Had two girls and never a son
 Left his job and anyone
 For cardboard boxes full of Sunday clothes to wear
 Yeah, we're all just who we are
 The apple don't fall far
 Preacher's daughter, I love my father
 Turned wine from water in my eyes
 Bound together, sweet surrender
 I forever know that I'm a preacher's daughter
 I was the one he could not tame
 Bound to scuff up the family name
 And at seventeen I took off on my own
 And like his will, I would not bend
 I guess I got my nerve from him
 We were made of salt
 We were never made of stone
 Preacher's daughter, I love my father
 Turned wine from water in my eyes
 Bound together, sweet surrender
 I forever know that I'm a preacher's daughter
 A preacher's daughter
 I took him to the brink
 He forgave me at the kitchen sink
 Like an altar, I laid all my burdens down
 And the day that he passed on
 I lost a little piece of God
 But I see his smile in the son that I have now
 Oh, preacher's daughter, I love my father
 Turned wine from water in my eyes
 Bound together, heaven's treasure
 I forever know that I'm a preacher's daughter
 A preacher's daughter
