Billy-Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would
visit he'd come along
When they gathered round and started
talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
A-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
Ooh, yes he was
Being 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 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...) Lord knows he was
Yes 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 knowing
Lookin' 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
Ooh, 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
I kissed the son of a
preacher man
The only one who could ever move me
The
sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man
The only one who could
ever groove me
Ahh, ooh, ahh....
