Mr. Bailey's Daughter (LP Version) - Bryan Duncan[00:00:00]

Whoa ha ha [00:00:02]

Now this is the story of a lower-middle class [00:00:08]

American preacher's kid who found[00:00:10]

That we don't always do all the right things[00:00:12]

For the right reasons [00:00:14]

Now my Dad is the finest man of God[00:00:15]

To ever grace the pulpit[00:00:17]

Of a small Pentecostal church [00:00:19]

To tell the truth [00:00:21]

I was born on Saturday[00:00:21]

And in church on Sunday [00:00:23]

And I guarantee I was never late [00:00:24]

'Cause Mom was the organ player[00:00:26]

And the Sunday School teacher [00:00:28]

While I took up the offering [00:00:29]

They would always make me give it back [00:00:31]

And as a child I had the honor of sittin'[00:00:33]

In the front row for[00:00:35]

The first five minutes of every sermon [00:00:37]

That's usually how long it took to be[00:00:39]

Called up to the platform for the express[00:00:41]

Purpose of keeping me from escaping under the pews [00:00:43]

And there I would sit behind the pulpit [00:00:46]

And count ceiling tiles for the next hour and a half [00:00:48]

Like most people over the years [00:00:52]

I got used to the pressure of sayin'[00:00:53]

And doin' all the right things[00:00:55]

Whether I believed it or not [00:00:56]

'Cause if I didn't I had the largest gathering[00:00:58]

Of elderly ladies ever to act upon[00:01:00]

Their moral obligation to report everything[00:01:03]

I ever said or did [00:01:06]

So you can understand why[00:01:07]

I loved goin' to the youth conventions [00:01:09]

'Cause it proved beyond that[00:01:11]

Shadow of a doubt there were girls[00:01:12]

Goin' to church who were under[00:01:13]

Sixty-five years of age [00:01:15]

And suddenly there she was [00:01:17]

Fourth row back on the left [00:01:18]

In the choir the absolute dream[00:01:20]

Of every kid ever to seek permission[00:01:21]

To borrow the family car [00:01:23]

Mr Bailey has a daughter[00:01:25]

Hopin' she'll notice me[00:01:27]

Got me singin' in the choir[00:01:29]

Volunteerin' my time for free[00:01:32]

Now I'm prayin' for revival[00:01:34]

Workin' at livin' right[00:01:36]

Man I never looked more sanctified[00:01:38]

At church on Sunday night[00:01:40]

Now it's amazing what'll turn[00:01:43]

Your life around in a hurry [00:01:44]

Overnight I'd come to realize[00:01:46]

What it meant wrong or right [00:01:47]

To be motivated I was captivated [00:01:50]

I was serious I was hearin' voices [00:01:52]

And all the things I'd been doin'[00:01:55]

For years took on a whole new significance [00:01:56]

You see now I was out to please[00:01:59]

Someone besides myself [00:02:01]

I was convinced she was an angel from Heaven [00:02:03]

Who knows She might have been [00:02:06]

She disappeared fast enough [00:02:08]

But now look who's still here tryin'[00:02:10]

To do all the right things [00:02:12]

And maybe sometimes even[00:02:13]

For the right reasons Break it down [00:02:15]

From the hearts of beggars to the hearts of Kings[00:02:25]

The heart's the greatest of deceitful things[00:02:27]

Expose what's wicked in the minds of man[00:02:29]

You can count to twenty and it's back again[00:02:31]

Mr Bailey has a daughter[00:02:34]

Hopin' she'll notice me[00:02:36]

Got me singin' in the choir[00:02:38]

Volunteerin' my time for free[00:02:40]

Now I'm prayin' for revival[00:02:42]

Workin' at livin' right[00:02:44]

Man I never looked more sanctified[00:02:46]

At church on Sunday night[00:02:49]

Mr Bailey has a daughter[00:02:51]

Hopin' she'll notice me[00:02:53]

Got me singin' in the choir[00:02:55]

Volunteerin' my time for free[00:02:57]

Now I'm prayin' for revival[00:02:59]

Workin' at livin' right[00:03:02]

Man I never looked more sanctified[00:03:04]

At church on Sunday night[00:03:06]

Find your place in the games we play[00:03:07]

No one's safe when it's safe to say[00:03:10]

The perfect motive has another ulterior[00:03:12]

Check yours twice when you're feelin' superior[00:03:14]

Mr Bailey has a daughter[00:03:16]

Hopin' she'll notice me[00:03:19]

Got me singin' in the choir[00:03:21]

Volunteerin' my time for free[00:03:23]

Now I'm prayin' for revival[00:03:25]

Workin' at livin' right[00:03:27]

Man I never looked more sanctified[00:03:29]

At church on Sunday night now[00:03:31]

Mr Bailey has a daughter[00:03:34]

Hopin' she'll notice me[00:03:36]

Got me singin' in the choir[00:03:38]

Volunteerin' my time for free[00:03:40]

Now I'm prayin' for revival[00:03:42]

Workin' at livin' right[00:03:44]

Man I never looked more sanctified[00:03:46]

At church on Sunday night[00:03:48]

From the hearts of beggars to the hearts of Kings[00:03:51]

The heart's the greatest of deceitful things[00:03:53]

Expose what's wicked in the minds of man[00:03:55]

You can count to twenty and it's back again[00:03:57]
