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, ye, he was, ooh, he was

<brief instrumental interlude>

bein' good isn't always easy
no matter how hard I try
when he started sweet-talkin' to me
he'd kiss tell me "Everything is all right"
baby baby "Everything is all right"
can I sneak 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, ye, he was, ooh, 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're growin'

the only boy who could ever reach me
was the son of a preacher man
I tell ya now the only boy who could ever teach me
was the son of a preacher man
yes he was, he was, oh yes he was

Hallelujah!! son of a preacher man (about 6 times fading)
