I got a date with the preacher's daughter She give me life she bring me water. Every Sunday I watch her work Pretty little (siff?) in a pretty little church Daddy gives her nod she takes collection Daddy gives her nod she kneels by her side. Well I'd sell my soul for just one touch The Lord would too if he loved her half as much.
Well I got a date with the preacher's daughter. Her Daddy say that the boy's no good Just want to raise some (coons?) out through the back woods Well baby better believe what your Daddy say Just wanna ramrod baby my life away. It's a long walk to heaven and a road filled with sin And they better open up the freeway to let me in.
'Cuz I got a date with the preacher's daughter Well now I don't care what the preacher say Haaaaayyyy [IDENTICAL to "Haaaaayyyy, Mona"] Well now I don't care what the preacher do Haaaaayyyy I don't care what the preacher like Haaaaayyyy I don't care what the preacher think Haaaaayyyy Leads me to water but won't let me drink. He leads me to water but won't let me drink. (Big Man)
[maracas start, music picks up, Bruce starts yelling]
And now it's (whole little world?) on Saturday night Two boys fighting in a halo of light Car door flung open and a radio loud And everybody shouting and running around. Two guys bloody and one I don't know And all little girls shouting "Go Billy go" Go Billy go.
Well just as I got the preacher's daughter ready for a light And (missed a VH fire?) and something ain't right. And like a she-devil howlin' from the gates of hell Goddam here come the preacher in his Coupe DeVille Burnin' up the backroad kicking in the dirt And oh baby preacher thinks he is church Well now your lips they shine in the willow mist And I swear I'd take you down (young croft?) for just one kiss
I got a date with the preacher's daughter I got a date with the preacher's daughter And it's haaaaayyyyoooo I got a date with the preacher's daughter hmmmmm...
