Lyrics:

Billy Ray was a preacher's sonAnd when his daddy'd visit he'd come alongWhen they gathered round and started talkingThat's when Billy would take me walking,all through the backyard we'd go walking,then he'd looked into my eyes,lord knows to my surpriseCHORUS:The only one who could ever reach meWas the son of a preacher manAnd the only boy who could ever teach meWas the son of a preacher manYes he was, was, yes he wasBein' good isn't always easy,no matter hard I try,when he started sweet talking to me,he'd come and tell my everything is allrighthe'd kiss it down and everything's allrightCan I get away again tonight ?ChorusOh yes he wasHow will I rememberThe look within his eyesStealin' kisses from me on the slyTakin' time to make timeTellin' me that he's all mineLearnin' from each other's knowin'Looking to see how much we've grownAnd the only one who could ever reach mewas the son of a preacher manThe only boy who could ever teach meWas the son of a preacher manYes he was, he was, oh yes he wasThe only boy who could ever reach meWas the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
