| 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'
|
| Out through the backyard we’d go walkin'
|
| 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, yes, he was
|
| Being good isn’t always easy
|
| No matter how hard I tried
|
| When he started sweet talkin' to me
|
| He’d come and tell me everything is alright
|
| He’d kiss and tell me everything’s 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, lord knows 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
|
| 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
|
| Was the sweet talkin' son of a preacher man
|
| The only boy who could ever teach me
|
| Was the son of a preacher man… |
