Lyrics:

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' Out through the backyard we'd go walkin' Then he'd look into my eyes Lord knows to my suprise 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, yes, he was Being good isn't always easy No matter how hard I tried When he started sweet talkin' to me He'd come and tell me everything is alright He'd kiss and tell me everything's alright 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 Stealing kisses from me on the sly Taking time to make time Telling me that he's all mine Learning from each other's knowing Looking to see how much we're growing 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 one who could ever reach me Was the sweet talkin' son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man....
