Her name is Sandra She loves the camera She lives a picture-perfect life That her parents have made for her The daughter of a small-town minister Her model ambitions stay unknown She fears what would happen if her cover was blown The religion thing's just not in her heart But to survive at home she must play the part One night her parents think she's at a school dance They don't know about a little romance cross-town she has With a young photographer And what he's promised her Honor your mother Honor your father It gets harder each day to stop her She never wanted to be A preacher's daughter She meets her best friend in the school parking lot Gets her club dress and heels out of the trunk Church garb stuffed behind the back seat And puts some makeup on The look is complete They pull up to the club No Shutterbug Is waiting at the spot to rendezvous A lump in her throat, no, it can't be right This was going to be another special night She didn't know that dad and his friends Decided it best to take the offensive And convey the sensation to her special friend That in this town he shall never be seen again Pleasing her mother Pleasing her father It's harder each day to try and stop her Life is hard As a preacher's daughter His absence seems to magnify her longing All she can think about is how she wants him She wonders if he's hurt or even been murdered And secretly fears that certain photos have surfaced Two weeks later she discovers she's late She starts taking money off the collection plate From her view this goes one of two ways She can stay and die or try to escape Nobody knows the future she's facing Her best friend drives her to the Greyhound station She's headed to Chicago or some place where She'll never be a girl in trouble again Sandra's mother jumps when she hears the doorbell Hoping it's her daughter's return to the Lord Wringing her hands she fears the fires that burn Her knees ache from praying for her daughter's return Her valedictorian bright little girl Everyone in town thought the world of her So much to live for Her mother never hears from her And can't understand How she was never happy there Goodbye mother Goodbye father Heaven or hell is no longer her problem She wants to forget her life As a preacher's daughter
