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 |
| Oh, the only boy who could ever teach me |
| Was the son of a preacher man |
| Yes he was, he was, oh, you know 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 everythings alright |
| He’d kiss and tell me everything is alright |
| Can I get away again tonight? |
| The only one who could ever teach me |
| Was the son of a preacher man |
| The only boy who could ever reach me |
| Was the son of a preacher man |
| Yes, he was, he was, oh, you know he was |
| Oh, the only one who could ever teach me |
| Was the son of a preacher man |
| Oh, the only boy who could ever reach me |
| Was the son of a preacher man |
| Yes, he was, he was, oh, you know 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’re growing |
| And the only one who could ever teach me was |
| A son of a preacher man |
| Oh, the only boy who could ever reach me |
| Was the son of a preacher man |
| Yes, he was, he was, oh you know he was |
| The only one who could ever teach me was |
| A son of a preacher man |
| Oh, the only boy who could ever reach me |
| Was the son of a preacher man |
| Yes, he was, he was, oh you know he was |
