Preacher's Kid Lyrics

My Pappy was the Pastor

At the Unified House of Prayer

For a crowd he was the master

He had that certain flair

You might say I'm Pentecostal

About the way that I was taught

To turn what might be hostile

Toward my own way of thought

Pappy said I was a natural

That I would win lots of friends

I can tell you what is factual

For the beginnings and the ends

I just give the crowd a lift

Folks are convinced that's what I did

And convincing is my gift

'Cause I'm a Preacher's Kid

Yes, I'm a Preacher's Kid

And I know just how to reach you

I'm a Preacher's Kid

I've got some things to teach you

I'm a Preacher's Kid

Let me tell you how it goes

'Cause I'm the Preacher's Kid

I just tell you what I know

I have the power of persuasion

I've got the gift of gab

It's the heart of the equation

Someone to pick up my tab

I learned it all from my Pappy

About how to walk and talk

How to make the people happy

Just slip the key in the lock

 I've got the wind to your whistle

I got some alligator shoes

I'll talk the script to the epistle

I'll sing the downhome blues

I put wang into your doodle

I'll take the power from the grid

I bring the whole kittenkaboodle

'Cause I'm the preacher's kid

Yes, I'm a Preacher's Kid

And I know just how to reach you

I'm a Preacher's Kid

I've got some things to teach you

I'm a Preacher's Kid

Let me tell you how it goes

'Cause I'm the Preacher's Kid

I just tell you what I know

I hear the whisper in your wind

And I am feeling your pain

I know the law that we'll rescind

And I shall sing the refrain

I'll help you milk your cow

I'll take the plow to your field

I'll go where laws don't allow

I'll give the highest yield

I'll be the man with the plan

I'll put the bug in your ear

I'll make you take your stand

I'll help you have no fear

Together we'll walk your mile

I'll help you pry off your lid

I got that funny little smile

Yes, I'm a Preacher's Kid

Yes, I'm a Preacher's Kid

And I know just how to reach you

I'm a Preacher's Kid

I've got some things to teach you

I'm a Preacher's Kid

Let me tell you how it goes

'Cause I'm the Preacher's Kid

I just tell you what I know
