Billy Ray was the preacher's son
|
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
|
When they gathered 'round and started talkin'
|
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
|
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
|
Then he'd look into my eyes
|
Lord knows, to my surprise
|
|
The only one who could ever reach me
|
Was the son of a preacher man
|
The only boy who could ever teach me
|
Was the son of a preacher man
|
Yes, he was, he was, ooh, yes, he was
|
|
Being good isn't always easy
|
No matter how hard I try
|
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
|
He'd come and tell me "Everything is alright"
|
He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is alright"
|
Can I get away again tonight?
|
|
The only one who could ever reach me
|
Was the son of a preacher man
|
The only boy who could ever teach me
|
Was the son of a preacher man
|
Yes, he was, he was, ooh, Lord knows, he was (yes, he was)
|
|
How well I remember
|
The look that was in his eyes
|
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
|
Takin' time to make time
|
Tellin' me that he's all mine
|
Learnin' from each other's knowin'
|
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and
|
|
The only one who could ever reach me
|
Was the son of a preacher man
|
The only boy who could ever teach me
|
Was the son of a preacher man
|
Yes, he was, he was, oh, yes, he was
|
He was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
|
(The only boy who could ever teach me)
|
I kissed me the son of a preacher man
|
(The only one who could ever move me)
|
The sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man
|
(The only one who could ever groove me)
|
(Was the son of a preacher man)
|
(The only one who could ever reach me)
|
(Was the son of a)
