Son Of A Preacher Man
Billy-Ray was a preacher’s sonAnd when his daddy would visit he’d come alongWhen 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 eyesLord knows to my surprise
The only one who could ever reach meWas the son of a preacher man.The only boy who could ever teach meWas the son of a preacher man.Yes he was, he wasOoh, yes he was.
Being good isn’t always easyNo matter how hard I try.When he started sweet-talkin’ to meHe’d come and tell me everything is all rightHe’d kiss and tell me everything is all right.Can I get away again tonight?
The only one who could ever reach meWas the son of a preacher man.The only boy who could ever teach meWas the son of a preacher man.Yes he was, he was(Ooh) Lord knows he was(Yes he was.)
How well I rememberThe look that was in his eyes.Stealin’ kisses from me on the slyTakin’ time to make timeTellin’ me that he’s all mineLearnin’ from each other’s knowing
Lookin’ to see how much we’re growin’And the only one who could ever reach meWas the son of a preacher man.The only boy who could ever teach meWas the son of a preacher man.Yes he was, he was
Ooh, yes he was.The only one who could ever reach meHe was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man.The only one who could ever teach meI guess it was the son of a preacher man.The only one who could ever move meSweet talking son of the preacher manThe only one who could ever move meWas the son of the preacher man
