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 starting talking That's when Billy would take me walking Out through the back yard we'd go walking Then he'd look into my eyes Lord knows, to my surprise Chorus 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, ooh, yes he was Ohh alelujiah Verse 2 Being good isn't always easy No matter how hard I try When he started sweet-talking to me He'd come'n tell me Everything is all right Baby baby Everything is all right Can I get away again tonight now 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, ooh, yes he was Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was Hmmmm Verse 3 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 other's knowing Looking to see how much we've grown and Chorus 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, ooh, yes he was Allelujiah Allelujiah Son of a preacher man Son of a preacher man Allelujiah yeah Son of a preacher man Allelujiah for the son He was the only boy yes he is that could ever reach me Yes he is that could ever reach me
