Jimmy Ray was a preacher's son
|
When his daddy would visit he'd come along
|
When they gathered 'round the parlor talkin'
|
Cousin Jimmy would take me walkin'
|
Out through the backyard we'd go walkin'
|
And 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
|
|
Yes he was, he was, ooh...
|
|
Being good isn't always easy
|
No matter how hard I try
|
When he started sweet talkin' to me
|
He'd come 'n tell me ev'rything is alright
|
kiss and tell me ev'rything is alright
|
And "can I sneak 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, he was, ooh...
|
|
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'
|
And 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, yeah
|
|
|
the only boy who could ever reach me was a sweet talkin son of a preacher man...ooo son of a preacher man
|
