Lyrics

Billy Ray was the preacher's son Daddy would visit, he'd come along They'd gather '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 Was the son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man, yeah, he was He was, ooh, yes, he was Being good isn't always easy No matter how hard I try When he started sweet-talkin' to me He'd come and tell me, "Everything's alright" He'd kiss and tell me, "Everything's alright" Can I get away 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, yeah, he was He was, ooh, Lord knows 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 knowin' Lookin' to see how much we've grown and 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 He was, oh, yes, he was The only boy who could ever teach 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 (Oh, yes, he was)
