Billy-Ray was a Preacher`s son,
And when his daddy would visit he`d come along,
When they gathered round and started talking,
That`s when 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:
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.
Being good isn`t always easy,
No matter how hard I tried,
When he started sweet talking to me,
he`d come tell me everything is alright,
he`d kiss and tell me everything is 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, oh yes 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 others 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.
