Billy Ray was a preacherâ²s son
And when his daddy would visit, he'd come along
When they gathered round and started talkinâ²
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
Through the backyard, weâ²d go walkinâ²
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise
The only one who could ever reach me
He was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever reach me
He was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, oh, yes he was
Being good wasnâ²t always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
Heâ²d come and tell me everything is all right
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right
Can I get away again tonight?
The only one who could ever reach me
He was the son of a preacher man
The only guy who could ever teach me
He was the son of a preacher man
Yes, he was, he was, oh yes, he was, yes he was
How well will I remember
The look that was in his eyes?
Stealinâ² kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that heâ²s all mine
Learninâ² from each other's knowledge
Lookinâ² to see how much we've grown
And the only one who could ever reach me
He was the son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever reach me
He was the son of a preacher man
Yes, he was, he was, oh, yes, he was
The only one who could ever reach me
The sweet-loving son of a preacher man
The sweet-loving son of a preacher man
The sweet-loving son of a preacher man
My man, my man
The sweet-loving son of a preacher man
