Son of a Preacher Man [Live] lyrics

Billy-Ray was a preacher's son

And when his daddy would visit he'd come along

When they gathered 'round and started 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

The only one who could ever teach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Only boy who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes, he was, he was, oh, you know he was

Being good isn't always easy

No matter how hard I try

When he started sweet-talking to me

Telling me anything is alright

He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright

Can I get away again tonight?

And the only one who could ever teach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Only boy who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes, he was, he was, oh, you know he was

Oh, the only one who could ever teach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Only boy who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes, he was, he was, oh, you know he was

How well I remember

The look 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 growing

The only one who could ever teach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Only boy who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes, he was, he was, oh, you know he was

The only one who could ever teach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Only boy who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes, he was, he was, oh, you know he was
