Son of a Preacher Man Lyrics by Tom Goss

2013

[Verse 1]
Billy Ray was a preacher's son and when his daddy would visit he'd come along
And when they started talkin’, that's when Billy would take me walkin’
Out through the back door we'd go walkin’
Then he'd look into my eyes, Lord knows it was my surprise
[Chorus]
The only one who could ever reach me was the son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever teach me was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, yes he was, yes he was
[Verse 2]
Bein' good isn't always easy, no matter how hard I try
When he’d start sweet-talkin' to me, he'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right”
Kiss and tell me "Everything is all right”
Can I get away again tonight?
[Chorus]
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, yes he was.
[Bridge]
Ooh, how I remember that look in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time, tellin' me he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowin’, look at us here how much we’re growing
[Outro]
The only one who could ever reach me was the son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever teach me was the son of a preacher man
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
The only one...
