Lyrics

Billy Ray was a preacher's son And when his daddy would visit he'd come along When they gathered around the parlour talkin' That's when Billy would take me walkin' Through the back yard we'd go walkin' Then he'd look into my eyes (ho) 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 (hallelujah) Yeah, he was (hallelujah) Oh, he was (oh hallelujah) Bein' good isn't always easy No matter how hard I try When he started sweet-talkin' to me He'd kiss and tell me "everything is all right" (sock it to me) Baby, baby everything is all right (oh sock it to me) Can I sneak away again tonight now? The only one who could ever reach me (Was the son of a preacher man) I tell you that the only boy who could ever teach me (Was the son of a preacher man) Yes, he was (hallelujah) Yeah, he was (hallelujah) Oh, he was (ha) Hm, mhmm 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 of mine now Learnin' from each other's knowin' Lookin' to see how much we've growin' and The only boy who could ever reach me (Was the son of a preacher man) I tell you that the only boy who could ever teach me (Was the son of a preacher man) Ohoh, yes he was (Hallelujah) Yeah, he was (hallelujah) Oh, he was (oh hallelujah) Halleluiah (Son of a preacher boy, halleluiah) Hallelujah for the son, now yeah (Son of a preacher boy, halleluiah) Halleluiah, yeah (Son of a preacher boy, halleluiah) For the son, halle- hallelujah for the son, now (Son of a preacher boy) He was the only boy, yes he is, who could ever reach me (Son of a preacher boy) He's the only boy who could ever teach me (Son of a preacher boy)
