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 backyard 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 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 try When he started sweet-talking 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 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 boy who could ever reach me He was a sweet-talking 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 one who could ever groove me Was the son of a preacher man The only one who could ever reach me Was the son of a preacher man
