Son Of A Preacher Man Lyrics

(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 meLouisy Joseph - Son Of A Preacher Man - http://motolyrics.com/louisy-joseph/son-of-a-preacher-man-lyrics.html
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.
