Son Of A Preacher Man Lyrics - Linda Eder

Jimmy Ray was a preacher's son 

When his daddy would visit he'd come along 

When they gathered 'round the parlor talkin' 

Cousin Jimmy would take me walkin' 

Out through the backyard we'd go walkin' 

And 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 

Ooh, 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 alright 

Kiss and tell me everything is alright 

Can I sneak 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 

Ooh 

How well I remember 

The look that was in his eyes 

Stealin' kisses from me on the side 

Takin' time to make time 

Tellin' me he's all mine 

Learnin' from each other's knowin' 

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 

Ooh 

The only one who could ever reach me 

Was a sweet talkin' 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 

Ooh 

Son of a preacher man 

Son of a preacher man 

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 

Ooh 

The only one who could ever reach me 

Was the son of a preacher man 

Yes he was 

The only boy who could ever teach me 

Was the son of a preacher man 

Yes he was 

Ooh 

The only one who could ever reach me 

Was the son of a preacher man 

The only one who could ever reach me 

Was the son of a preacher man
