Billy-Ray was
a preacher's son
when his daddy
would visit
he'd come along
When they gathered
round and started talkin'
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
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
oooh yeah 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 alright
He'd come and tell me
everything is alright
Can we 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
stealin' kisses from me
on the sly
Takin' time to make time
tellin' me
he's all mine
Learnin' from each
other's knowing
lookin' to see how much
we've grown and
The only boy
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-talking
son of a preacher man
The only boy
who could ever
teach me
Was the son of
a preacher man
oh yeh
ah hah
oh yeah
