""My daddy is an old time preacher
Preaching bout the promised land
Whenever you're in trouble
Just take the masters hand
But I grew up, became a wise one
Threw my faith right out the door
My daddy is an old time preacher
But I don't believe anymore
My daddy is an old time preacher
Taught me everything I need to know
Whenever I got caught up
I knew just where to go
But I grew up, became a wise one
And wonder'd had daddy lied?
All those good time preaches
I don't longer testify
My daddy is an old time preacher
Taught me how to bow my head and pray
How to live a good life
If it was only yesterday
But I grew up, became a wise one
Won't follow in his shoes
My daddy is an old time preacher
But I'd rather sing the blues
My daddy is an old time preacher
Preaching bout the promised land
Whenever you're in trouble
Just take the masters hand
But I grew up, became a wise one
Threw my faith right out the door
My daddy is an old time preacher
But I don't believe anymore
