Billy-Ray was a preacher's son
|
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
|
When they gathered round and started talkin'
|
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
|
A-through the back yard 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
|
Yes he was, he was, mmm, 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 is all right
|
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right
|
Can I 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, he was, 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 knowing
|
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
|
He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
|
I guessed he was the son of a preacher man
|
Sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man
|
Ahh, move me
