(John Hurley/Ronnie Wilkins) Billy Ray was a preacher's son And when his daddy would visit, he'd come along. When they gathered around and started talking That's when Billy would take me walking. Out through the backyard, we'd go walking Then he'd look into my eyes, Lord knows, to my surprise. The only boy who could ever teach 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. Being good isn't always easy, no matter how hard I try. When he started sweet-talking to me He'd kiss me and "Everything is all right". He'd come to me and "Everything is all right". Can I get away again tonight ? He's the only boy who could ever teach me Was the son of a preacher man. The only boy who could ever reach me was the son of a preacher man. Yes he was, he was, ooh. Oh yes, I remember, how well I remember The look that was in his eyes, stealin' kisses from me on the sly Taking time to make time, telling me that he's all mine Learning from each other's knowing Looking to see how much we've grown and The only boy who could ever teach me was the son of a preacher man. The only boy who could ever reach me was the son of a preacher man. Yes he was, he was, ooh yes he was. The only boy who could ever reach me was the son of a preacher man. The only boy who could ever reach me was the son of a preacher man. Yes he was, he was, ooh yes he was. The only boy who could ever teach me was the son of a preacher man. The only boy who could ever reach me was the son of a preacher man. Yes he was, he was, ooh yes he was. |
