Son Of A Preacher Man

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

(The only one who could ever reach me)
He was the sweet - talkin´ 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 sweet - talkin´ son of a preacher man
