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 talkin'
 That's when Billy would take me walkin'
 Through the backyard, we'd go walkin'
 Then he'd look into my eyes
 Lord knows to my surprise
 The only one who could ever reach me
 He was the son of a preacher man
 The only boy who could ever reach me
 He was the son of a preacher man
 Yes he was, he was, oh, yes he was
 ♪
 Being good wasn't always easy
 No matter how hard I try
 When he started sweet-talkin' to me
 He'd come and tell me everything is all right
 He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right
 Can I get away again tonight?
 The only one who could ever reach me
 He was the son of a preacher man
 The only guy who could ever teach me
 He was the son of a preacher man
 Yes, he was, he was, oh yes, he was, yes he was
 How well will 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 knowledge
 Lookin' to see how much we've grown
 And the only one who could ever reach me
 He was the son of a preacher man
 The only one who could ever reach me
 He was the son of a preacher man
 Yes, he was, he was, oh, yes, he was
 The only one who could ever reach me
 The sweet-loving son of a preacher man
 The sweet-loving son of a preacher man
 The sweet-loving son of a preacher man
 My man, my man
 The sweet-loving son of a preacher man
