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 back yard 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, ooh, 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 all right" He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right" 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, ooh, yes he was (yes 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've grown and
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) He was the 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 reach me) Was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
