Son Of A Preacher Man

Billy-Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they'd gather 'round and started talkin'
Is when Billy would take me walkin'
A' through the backyard we'd go walkin'
And then he'd look into my eyes
And lord knows to [C7]my [A]surprise
The only one who could ever ɾeach me
Was the son [C7]of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son [C7]of a preacher man
Yes he was, yes he was
Oh, yes he was
Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I'd tɾy
When he started sweet-talkin' to [C7]me
He'd come and [Bm]tell me everything is all [Em]ɾight
He'd kiss and [Bm]tell me everything is all [Em]ɾight
And can we get away again tonight?
The only one who could ever ɾeach me
Was the son [C7]of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son [C7]of a preacher man
Yes he was, yes he was
Oh, yes he was
How well I ɾemember
The look that was [Am7]in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on [C7]the sly
Takin' time to [C7]make time
Tellin' me that he's all [Em]mine
Learnin' from each other's knowing
Lookin' to [C7]see how much we been growin'
And the only boy who could ever ɾeach me
Was the son [C7]of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son [C7]of a preacher man
Yes he was, yes he was
Oh
The only one who could ever ɾeach me
Was the son [C7]of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son [C7]of a preacher man
