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' |
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… |
