Billy Ray was a preacher's son
7
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
8
When they gathered around and started talkin'
9
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
10
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
11
Then he'd look into my eyes
12
Lord knows, to my surprise
13
The only one who could ever reach me
14
Was the son of a preacher man
15
The only boy who could ever teach me
16
Was the son of a preacher man
17
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was
18
Bein' good isn't always easy
19
No matter how hard I try
20
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
21
He'd come' tell me "Everything is all right"
22
He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right"
23
Can I get away again tonight?
24
The only one who could ever reach me
25
Was the son of a preacher man
26
The only boy who could ever teach me
27
Was the son of a preacher man
28
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was (yes he was)
29
How well I remember
30
The look that was in his eyes
31
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
32
Takin' time to make time
33
Tellin' me that he's all mine
34
Learnin' from each other's knowin'
35
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and
36
The only one who could ever reach me
37
Was the son of a preacher man
38
The only boy who could ever teach me
39
Was the son of a preacher man
40
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was
41
(The only one who could ever reach me)
42
He was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
43
(The only boy who could ever teach me)
44
Was the son of a preacher man
45
(The only one who could ever reach me)
46
Was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
