Lyrics

Billy Ray was a preacher's son
 And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
 When they gathered around and started talkin'
 That's when Billy would take me walkin'
 Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
 Then he'd look into my eyes
 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, he was, ooh, yes he was
 Bein' good isn't always easy
 No matter how hard I try
 When he started sweet-talkin' to me
 He'd come'n tell me "Everything is all right"
 He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right"
 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, ooh, yes he was (yes he was)
 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 mine
 Learnin' from each other's knowin'
 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
 He was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
 (The only boy who could ever teach me)
 Was the son of a preacher man
 Was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
