mmmmmm
billy ray was a preacher's son
and when his daddy came to visit he'd come along
when they gathered round the table talking
thats when 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 only one who could ever reach me
was the son of a preacher man
the only one boy who could ever teach me
was the son of a preacher man
yes he was, he was,
oohh yea

how well did i remember
the look that was in his eye
stealing kisses from me on the slide
learning from eachothers knowing
look'n to see how much we're growing

the only one who could ever reach me
was the son of a preacher man
the only one boy who could ever teach me
was the son of a preacher man
yes he was, he was,
oohh yea, yeah yeah
