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, 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, he was, ooh, yes 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 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, oh yes he was |
|
Sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man |
|
He's a the son of a preacher man |
|
Sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man |
|
Ohh oh oh yeah! |
