Billy-Ray was a Preacher's son
|
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
|
When they gathered round and started talking
|
Cousin Billy would take me walking
|
Through the back yard we'd go walking
|
Then he'd look into my eyes
|
Lord knows to my suprise
|
|
Chorus:
|
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
|
He was, yes he was, oh yes he was
|
|
Being good isn't always easy
|
No matter how hard I tried
|
When he started sweet talking to me
|
He'd come and tell me everything is alright
|
He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright
|
Can I get away again tonight
|
|
Chorus
|
|
How well I remember
|
The look that was in his eyes
|
Stealing kisses from me on the sly
|
Taking time to make time
|
Telling me that he's all mine
|
Learning from each others knowing
|
Looking to see how much we'd grown
|
|
The only boy who could ever move me
|
Was the son of a preacher man
|
The only boy who could ever groom me
|
Was the son of a preacher man
|
He was, yes he was, oh yes he was
|
