Billy-Ray was a preacher's son

And when his daddy would visit he'd come along

When they'd gather 'round and started talkin'

Is when Billy would take me walkin'

A' through the backyard we'd go walkin'

And then he'd look into my eyes

And 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, yes he was

Oh, yes he was





Being good isn't always easy

No matter how hard I'd 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

And can we 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, yes he was

Oh, 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 been growin'





And the only boy 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, yes he was

Oh

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
