A preachers daughter so she had common sense, it's ashamed the way her life went, he's too busy though,

[Spoken Word] (its a cryin shame ohh) its a shame she couldnt make a way out now im sittin here twiddlin
|
my thumbs cause her life is gone and her kids are gone and she lost everything, and see her own father
|
was a preacher but he couldnt pray for her cause he was too busy prayin for everybody else and layin
|
hands on all the women in the congregation, but i guess thats what goes on when you walk right and
|
perfect and your whole house seems to be perfect, and behind closed doors, everybody suffers from some
|
kind of demon but nobody knows it, until it all unvails itself, your own daughter is out there locked out
|
in the dark she was a preachers daughter
