Son of a Preacher Man
Billy Rae was a preachers son
and when his daddy had visit he'd come alone
and then they'd gather around and started talkin'
that's when Billy would take me walkin'
and to the backyard we'd go walkin'
and 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, oh yes he was
Being good isn't always easy
no matter how hard I try
when he started sweet talkin to me
he'd come and 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 am I remember
the look was in his eyes
stealin kisses from me on the side
takin time to make time
telling me that he's all mine
heard it from each others knowin
lookin to see how much we'd grown
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
was the son of a preacher man
sweet talking son of a preacher man
was the son of a preacher man
was the son of a preacher man
