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' 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 He was the son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever reach me He was the son of a preacher man Yes he was, he was, oh, yes he was Being good wasn'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 He was the son of a preacher man The only guy who could ever teach me He was the son of a preacher man Yes, he was, he was, oh yes, he was, yes he was How well will 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 knowledge Lookin' to see how much we've grown And the only one who could ever reach me He was the son of a preacher man The only one who could ever reach me He was the son of a preacher man Yes, he was, he was, oh, yes, he was The only one who could ever reach me The sweet-loving son of a preacher man The sweet-loving son of a preacher man The sweet-loving son of a preacher man My man, my man The sweet-loving son of a preacher man
