Son Of A Preacher Man

Billy Ray was a preacher's son
 And when his daddy would visit, he'd come along
 When they gathered round and started talking
 That's when Billy would take me walking
 Through the backyard we'd go walking
 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, oh yes he was
 Being good isn't always easy
 No matter how hard I try
 When he started sweet talking 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, oh yes he was
 How well I remember
 The look that was in his eyes
 Stealing kisses from me on the sly
 Taking time to make time
 Telling me that he's all mine
 Learning from each other's knowing
 Looking to see how much we'd 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
