* Verse 1 Billy Ray was a preacher's son.
But when his Daddy reveals that he'd come along.
When they gathered 'round and started talking,
That's when Billy would take me walking.
Through the backyard 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. Mmm, yes he was.
* Verse 2 Being good isn't always easy, no matter how hard I try.
When he started sweet-talking to me,
He'd come and tell me everything is alright.
He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright.
Can I get with him tonight?
* (Repeat chorus)
* Bridge (Ooooooh, yes he was)
How well I remember; the look was in his eyes,
Stealing kisses from me on the side.
Takin' 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
* (Repeat chorus)

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man.

Was the son of a preacher man. (repeat)

He was a sweet-talking son of a preacher man.
