(Johnny Van-Zant — Robbie Gay — Larry Steele — Donnie Van-Zant)
A preacher’s daughter
Her life is law and order
Her daddy holds her so (too) tight
She can’t escape
She can’t make no mistakes
She’s finished with school
And now she’s ready for life.
When a good girl turns bad
She changes over night
When a good girl turns bad
She’s not (ain’t) concerned about what’s wrong or right
(She don’t care about.)
Her pride is showing
She’s hurt, and out to show ’em
The independence she’s earned
She’s not afraid
Of what they might say
Let them imagine whatever they want.
When a good girl turns bad
She’s out to play (all) the games (s)
When a good girl turns bad
She’ll take the credit but don’t want the blame
(who’s to blame?)
Preacher’s daughter
Her life was law and order
Her daddy held her too tight
(No) she ain’t afraid
Of what they might think
They’ve got to know
She’s gonna run her on life (got control of her life.)
When a good girl turns bad
She’s out to play the game
When a good girl turns bad
She’ll take the credit (and she’ll welcome the change)
But she don’t want the blame…
