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 back yard we'd go walking Then he'd look into my eyes Lord knows to my suprise
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 tried When he started sweet talking to me He'd come 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 others knowing Looking to see how much we'd grown
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
