Son Of A Preacher (Mono)Billy Ray was a preacher's sonAnd when his daddy would visit he'd come along When they gathered around the parlour talkin' That's when Billy would take me walkin' Through the backyard 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 (hallelujah) Bein' good isn't always easy No matter how hard I try When he started sweet-talkin' to me He'd kiss 'n tell me "Everything is all right" (sock it to me) "Baby, baby everything is all right" (sock it to me) Can I sneak away again tonight, now? The only one who could ever reach me Was the son of a preacher man (I tell you that) |
