Son Of A Preacher Man Lyrics - Foo Fighters

(John Hurley / Ronnie Wilkins) 

Billy-Ray was a preacher's son 

And when his daddy would visit he'd come along 

When they gathered round and started talkin' 

That's when Billy would take me walkin' 

A-through the back yard we'd go walkin' 

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 boy who could ever teach me 

Was the son of a preacher man 

Yes he was, he was, mmm, yes he was

Being good isn't always easy 

No matter how hard I try 

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 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, Lord knows 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've grown

And 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, oh, yes he was 

He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man 

I guessed he was the son of a preacher man 

Sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man 

Ahh, move me
