Lyrics

Billy Ray was a preacher's son
 And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
 When they'd gather 'round the parlour talkin'
 That's when Billy would take me walkin'
 Through the backyard we'd go walkin'
 Then he'd look into my eyes (oh)
 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 (hallelujah)
 Oh, yeah, he was (hallelujah)
 Oh, he was (ha- hallelujah)
 Bein' good isn't always easy
 No matter how hard I try
 When he started sweet-talkin' to me
 He'd kiss and tell me "everything is all right" (oh, sock it to me)
 "Baby, baby, everything is all right" (oh, sock it to me)
 Can I sneak away again tonight now?
 The only one who could ever reach me
 (Was the son of a preacher man)
 I tell you that the only boy who could ever teach me
 (Was the son of a preacher man)
 Yes he was (hallelujah)
 Oh, yeah, he was (hallelujah)
 Oh, he was (ha)
 Hmm mhm
 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 of mine now
 Learnin' from each other's knowin'
 Lookin' to see how much we've grown and
 The only boy who could ever reach me
 (Was the son of a preacher man)
 I tell you that the only boy who could ever teach me
 (Was the son of a preacher man)
 Oh, yes, he was (hallelujah)
 Oh, yeah, he was (hallelujah)
 Oh, he was (ha- hallelujah)
 Hallelujah
 (Son of a preacher man)
 Hallelujah for the son, now, yeah
 (Son of a preacher man)
 Hallelujah, yeah
 (Son of a preacher man)
 For the son, halle- hallelujah for the son, now
 (Son of a preacher man)
 He was the only boy, yes he is
