Billy-Ray was a Preacher's son And when his daddy would visit he'd come along When they gathered round and started talking Cousin Billy would take me walking Through the back yard we'd go walking Then he'd look into my eyes Lord knows to my suprise Chorus: The only boy 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 He was, yes he was, oh yes he was Being good isn't always easy No matter how hard I tried When he started sweet talking to me He'd come and tell me everything is alright He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright Can I get away again tonight Chorus How well I remember The look that was in his eyes Stealing kisses from me on the sly Taking time to make time Telling me that he's all mine Learning from each others knowing Looking to see how much we'd grown The only boy who could ever move me Was the son of a preacher man The only boy who could ever groom me Was the son of a preacher man He was, yes he was, oh yes he was
