Lyrics Son Of A Preacherman - Reggie Young

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 back yard 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, mmm, 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 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've 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
The only boy who could ever teach me
Sweet-lovin′ son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Sweet son of a preacher man
Oh, yes he was
Was the son of a preacher man
Alright, oh yes
Oh sweet son of a preacher man
Oh, oh yes
Sweet son of a preacher man
Oh yes, sweet son of a preacher man
