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: 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, 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 tell me everything is alright, he´d kiss and tell me everything is alright, Can I get 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, he was, oh yes he was. 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 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, he was, oh yes he was.
