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
(Ooh) 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're growin'
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.
The only one who could ever teach me
I guess it was the son of a preacher man.
The only one who could ever move me
Sweet talking son of the preacher man
The only one who could ever move me
Was the son of the preacher man
