Son Of A Preacher Man Lyrics - The Voice

Billy-Ray was a preacher's son 

And when his daddy would visit he'd come along 

When they gathered around and started talkin' 

That's when Billy would take me walkin' 

Out 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, ooh, yes he was 

Bein' 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 

He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright 

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 knowin' 

Lookin' to see how much we're growin' 

The only one who could ever reach me 

Was a 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 

The only one who could ever reach me 

He was a sweet talkin' son of a preacher man 

The only boy who could ever teach me 

I guess he was the son of a preacher man 

The only one who could ever move me 

Was the son of a preacher man 

The only one who could ever groove me 

Was the son of a preacher man
