Son of a Preacher Man lyrics

Billy Ray was a preacher's son

And when his daddy would visit he'd come along

When they gathered round and startedtalkin'

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 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, 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
