Son Of A Preacher Man

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Billy-Ray was a preacher's son And when his daddy would visit, he'd come along When they gathered 'round and started talkin' And that's when Billy would take me walkin' Through the back yard, we'd go walkin' Then he'd look into my eyes Lord knows to my surprise [Chorus] The only boy who could ever reach me Was the son of a preacher man The only one who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man He was, he was Yes, he was [Verse 2] Being good isn't always easy No matter how hard I try When he started a sweet-talkin' to me Come and tell me everything's alright Kiss and tell me everything is alright Can I get away again tonight? [Chorus] The only boy who could ever reach me Was the son of a preacher man The only one who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man He was, he was Yes, he was (He was) [Bridge] How well I remember The look was in his eyes Stealin' kisses from me on the sly Takin' time to make time Tellin' me he's all mine Learnin' from each other's knowin' Lookin' and see how much we've grown [Outro] The only boy who could ever reach me Was the son of a preacher man The only one who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man He was, he was Yeah, yes He was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man I love him, I love him I love him, I love that boy Sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man Sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man Sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man I love him, I love him I do now, I love that boy
