Billy-ray was a preacher's son And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered around and started talkin' That's when billy would take me walkin' Out through the back yard 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 oh yes he was
Bein' good isn't always easy
No matter how hard i try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me He'd come and 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 lord knows he was
How well i remember The look that was in his eyes Stealin' kisses from me on the sly Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowin' Lookin' to see how much we're growin' 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 lord knows he was The only boy who could ever reach me He was a sweet talkin' 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 move me Was the son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever groove me Was the son of a preacher man Yes he was he was oh yeah yeah yes he was
