Intro : (2x)
B illy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his da ddy would visit he'd c ome along
When they'd gather 'round and started talking
Cousin Billy would take me walking
through the back yard we'd go walking
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise
The o nly one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preac her man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a prea cher man
Yes he was, he was Oh, yes he was
Being good isn't always easy
No matter how h ard I tried
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 o nly one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preac her man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a prea cher man
Yes he was, he was Oh, yes 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'd grown and
The o nly one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preac her man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a prea cher man
Yes he was, he was Oh, yes he was
