"Son Of A Preacher Man" lyrics

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

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

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?

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)

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

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
