Preacher Man

I'm a son of a preacher man, everybody calls him Brother Jim

Seems like I spend my life tryin' to live up to him

Well, he taught me wrong from right but Lord knows I still sin

Hey, I'm the son of a preacher man

Daddy said that the narrow road was the only road to take

But now I make my livin' on a tour bus rollin' down interstates

All nighters with cheaters and liars can sometimes test your faith

I'm still the son of a preacher man

Well, the good books say that Jesus ran with a party crowd

So I believe and pray them Pearly Gates are still where I'm bound

And I don't know if the life I chose makes my daddy proud of who I am

I'm just the son of a preacher man, hey of a preacher man

Most Sunday mornings I spend getting over Saturday nights

While he's down there preaching in the pulpit, singin', 'I saw the light'

And sometimes it's hard to look my mirror in the eye

Knowin' I'm the son of a preacher man

Well, the good books say that Jesus ran with a party crowd

So I believe and pray them Pearly Gates are still where I'm bound

And I don't know if the life I chose makes my daddy proud

Hey, I'm just the son of a preacher man, oh yeah

I'm just the son, I'm just the son

Hey, I'm the son of a preacher man

Hey, of a preacher man
