Son Of A Preacher Man |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
he was the sweet talkin' son of a preacher man (a few times fading) |
