[00:15.81] His hands turn gold leaf pages
[00:19.32] Then taught me to tie my laces
[00:23.38] He could build a house
[00:25.44] Strong as the good lord's prayer
[00:30.30] Had two girls and never a son
[00:34.13] Left his job and anyone
[00:37.82] For cardboard boxes full of Sunday clothes to wear
[00:43.51]
[00:45.79] Yeah, we're all just who we are
[00:49.83] The apple don't fall far
[00:52.23]
[00:53.16] Preacher's daughter, I love my father
[00:59.67] Turned wine from water in my eyes
[01:08.70] Bound together, sweet surrender
[01:15.51] I forever know that I'm a preacher's daughter
[01:29.90]
[01:31.83] I was the one he could not tame
[01:35.84] Bound to scuff up the family name
[01:39.98] And at seventeen I took off on my own
[01:46.97] And like his will, I would not bend
[01:51.10] I guess I got my nerve from him
[01:55.10] We were made of salt
[01:57.54] We were never made of stone
[02:00.49]
[02:02.48] Preacher's daughter, I love my father
[02:08.91] Turned wine from water in my eyes
[02:18.17] Bound together, sweet surrender
[02:25.11] I forever know that I'm a preacher's daughter
[02:41.39] A preacher's daughter
[02:47.82]
[03:01.51] I took him to the brink
[03:05.90] He forgave me at the kitchen sink
[03:08.87] Like an altar, I laid all my burdens down
[03:16.35] And the day that he passed on
[03:20.41] I lost a little piece of God
[03:24.31] But I see his smile in the son that I have now
[03:29.60]
[03:31.21] Oh, preacher's daughter, I love my father
[03:38.11] Turned wine from water in my eyes
[03:47.14] Bound together, heaven's treasure
[03:53.91] I forever know that I'm a preacher's daughter
[04:10.23] A preacher's daughter
