Billy-Ray was a preacher´s son
And when his daddy would visit he would come along
When they gathered round & started talkin´
That is when Billy would take me walkin´
A-through the back yard we would go walkin´
Then he would look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise
Chorus:
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, yes he was
Being good is not always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin´ to me
He would come & tell me everything´s all right
He would kiss & tell me everything´s all right
Can I get away again tonight?
Chorus:
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
(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 has all mine
Learnin´ from each other´s knowing
Lookin´ to see how much we have 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
The only boy 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 yeah, ah hah, oh yeah!
