rate me

(john hurley / ronnie wilkins)<br><br>Billy-ray was a preacher's son<br>And when his daddy would visit he'd come along<br>When they gathered round and started talkin'<br>That's when billy would take me walkin'<br>A-through the back yard we'd go walkin'<br>Then he'd look into my eyes<br>Lord knows to my surprise<br><br>The only one who could ever reach me<br>Was the son of a preacher man<br>The only boy who could ever teach me<br>Was the son of a preacher man<br>Yes he was, he was, mmm, yes he was<br><br>Being good isn't always easy<br>No matter how hard I try<br>When he started sweet-talkin' to me<br>He'd come and tell me everything is all right<br>He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right<br>Can I get away again tonight? <br><br>The only one who could ever reach me<br>Was the son of a preacher man<br>The only boy who could ever teach me<br>Was the son of a preacher man<br>Yes he was, he was, lord knows he was<br><br>How well I remember<br>The look that was in his eyes<br>Stealin' kisses from me on the sly<br>Takin' time to make time<br>Tellin' me that he's all mine<br>Learnin' from each other's knowing<br>Lookin' to see how much we've grown<br><br>And the only one who could ever reach me<br>Was the son of a preacher man<br>The only boy who could ever teach me<br>Was the son of a preacher man<br>Yes he was, he was, oh, yes he was<br>He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man<br>I guessed he was the son of a preacher man<br>Sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man<br>Ahh, move me
