I was born in the thirsty earth Showed up in Tucson, fresh out of Leavenworth Did my time on stale bread and dirty water Nobody told me that lady was the preacher's daughter Yeah, how her arms? ll hold me (Tonight) When we kissed she never told me I? ll be the lamb for a slaughter ? Cause she's my preacher's daughter Got loose from my incarceration I paid a visit to her Daddy's congregation "Welcome home", she said, "You're lookin' good too Meet my new husband, he's the sheriff who arrested you" Yeah, how her arms? ll hold me (Tonight) When we kissed, she never told me I? ll be the lamb for a slaughter ? Cause she's my preacher's daughter, yeah So I said my congratulations Before I lost myself to my infatuation I stole a kiss or two just havin' fun again Sheriff don't like it, now I'm back on the run again How her arms? ll hold me (Tonight) When we kissed, she never told me I? ll be the lamb for a slaughter Like the desert needs the water Give me back my preacher's daughter Preacher's daughter Preacher's daughter Preacher's daughter Yeah
