Billy-Ray was a Preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered 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 suprise

Chorus:

The only boy 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
He was, yes he was, oh yes he was


Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I tried
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 away again tonight


Chorus


How well I remember
The look that 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 others knowing

Looking to see how much we'd grown

The only boy who could ever move me

Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever groom me
Was the son of a preacher man

He was, yes he was, oh yes he was
