Billy Ray was a
Preacher's son
And when his daddy
Would visit he'd
Come along
When they gathered
Around and
Started talkin
That's when Billy
Would take me walkin
Out through the back
Yard 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 yes he was
Ooh yes he was
Bein good isn't
Always easy
No matter how
Hard I try
When he started
Sweet-talkin to me
He'd come'n 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 yes he was
Ooh 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 knowin
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
Was the 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 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 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 son of a
Preacher man
The only boy who
Could ever teach me
Was the son of a
Preacher man
