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 around and started talking

That's when Billy would take me walking

Out through the back yard 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, ooh, 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 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

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 (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'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

(The only one who could ever reach me)

He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man

(The only boy who could ever teach me)

Was the son of a preacher man

(The only one who could ever reach me)

Was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
