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
