Son Of A Preacher Man Lyrics - Nightbird - Eva Cassidy

Billy-Ray was a preacher's son 

And when his daddy would visit he'd come along 

When they gathered around 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 reach me 

Was the son of a preacher man 

Oh, the only boy who could ever teach 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 

He'd come and tell me everythings alright 

He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright 

Can I get away again tonight? 

The only one who could ever teach me 

Was the son of a preacher man 

The 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 

Oh, the only boy who could ever reach me 

Was the son of a preacher man 

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

Photos 

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 other's knowing 

Looking to see how much we're growing 

And the only one who could ever teach me was 

A son of a preacher man 

Oh, the 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 

A son of a preacher man 

Oh, the only boy who could ever reach me 

Was the son of a preacher man 

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