[Verse]
E Esus4 E
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 self in a pretty little church
Daddy gives her a nod, she takes collection
Her daddy gives her a nod, she kneels by his side
Well I’d sell my soul for just one touch
The good Lord would too if he loved her half as much
Well I got a date with the preacher’s daughter, mm-hmm
E Esus4 E
[Verse]
E E Esus4 E
Daddy say that them boys no good
Just wanna race some coons out through the back woods
Well baby better believe what your daddy say
I just wanna ramrod, baby, my life away
A
It’s a long walk to heaven and a road filled with sin
E E Esus4 E
And they better open up the freeway to let me in
‘Cause I got a date with the preacher’s daughter
Hmmm-hmmm-hmmm-hmmm
[Verse]
E Esus4 E N.C.
Well now I don’t care what the preacher say (Hey)
I don’t care what the preacher do
I don’t care what the preacher like (Hey-oh)
I don’t care what the preacher think (Hey)
A
Leads me to water but won’t let me drink
E E Esus4
He leads me to water but won’t let me drink

Hey now on this old little road on Saturday Night
Two boys fighting in a halo of light
Car door flung open, radio loud
And everybody shouting and running around
Two guys bloody, over what I don’t know
And all the little girls shouting, “Go Billy go, go Billy go”
Well just as I got the preacher’s daughter ready for a light
Yeah Mister, the V-8 is firing but something ain’t right
And like a she-devil howling from the gates of hell
Goddamn here come the preacher in his Coupe De Ville
Burning up the back road, kicking in the dirt
Whoa-oh baby, preacher thinks he’s in church
A
Well now your lips they shine in the willow mist
E E Esus4 E E Esus4 E
And I swear I’d take you down the aisle, girl, for just one kiss
I got a date with the preacher’s daughter
I got a date with the preacher’s daughter, hey!
And it’s heyyy-whoaaa-hmmm
I got a date with the preacher’s daughter, hmmm
