Billy Ray was a preacher's son
����� ��� ��� ����� ������������,
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
� ����� ��� ���� ������� ���, �� �������� ������ � ���,
When they gathered round and started talkin'
����� ��� �������� ���, � �� ������� ���� ����,
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
����� ����� ��������� ���� �����������,
A-through the backyard we'd go walkin'
�� �������� ����� ������ ����,
Then he'd look into my eyes
����� �� �������� � ��� �����...
Lord knows to my surprise
������ ������� ���� ��������, ��� � ���� ��������.
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, oooh, yes he was
��, ��, �� ���, �... ��, ��...
Being good isn't always easy
���� ������� �������� �������,
No matter how hard I try
������� �� ������ � �� ���������,
'Cause when he started sweet-talkin' to me
��� ��� ������ �� ������� ���� ������� ����,
He'd 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
��� ������������, ��� ��� ��� ���-�� �������,
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, Lord knows he was
��, ��, �� ���, ������� �����, ��� ��� ��� ��...
How well I remember
��� �� ��������� � �����
The look that was in his eyes
��� ��� ������,
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
����� �� ������, �������� ������� ����.
Takin' time to make time
�� ������� ���������� ���������,
Tellin' me that he's all mine
�� ������� ���, ��� ��������� � ���� ������,
Learnin' from each other's knowing
�� ������� ���� � �����,
Lookin' to see how much we're growing
���������, ��� ������ ���������.
And 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
��, ��, �� ���, �... ��, ��...
He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
�� ��� ������������� ����� ������������,
I kissed the son of a preacher man
� �������� ���� ������������,
The sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man
����� ����� �������� ���� ������������.
