[Verse] Are you one of the sheep Lost in the fold Tryin' to find somethin' deep In stories so old My past is checkered My halo’s bent No answers for the questions Just the time I’ve spent [Prechorus] I ain't no savior I ain't no saint But I can tell you What I am and what I ain't [Chorus] I’m the son of a preacher man Yes I am I am I am No sermons No lessons Just a spark in the sand I’m the son of a preacher man Yes I am I am I am [Verse 2] Strict upbringin With a Bible in hand But the good book’s weight Never crushed who I am I found my own gospel In the streets and the sound Where the lost and the broken Turn the world around [Prechorus] No holy water No burning bush Just the echoes Of a rebel’s push [Chorus] I’m the son of a preacher man Yes I am I am I am No sermons No lessons Just a spark in the sand I’m the son of a preacher man Yes I am I am I am [Bridge] Learned what I could Told 'em what I should Said my truth and knocked on wood Took the rules and broke 'em down Made a crown out of this town
