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 'round and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
A-through the backyard 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

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 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
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's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowing
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
Ooh, yes he was

The only one who could ever reach me (He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man)
Was the son of a preacher man)
The only boy who could ever teach me (I kissed the son of a preacher man)
Was the son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever move me (The sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man)
Was the son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever groove me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
