BEilly Ray was a preacher's son
And when his dAaddy would visit he'd cEome along
When they'd gather 'round and started talking
B7That's when Billy would take me walking
A-through the back yard we'd go walking
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise
Chorus:
The oEnly one who could ever reach me
A Was the son of a pEreacher man
The oEnly boy who could ever teach me
A Was the son of a prEeacher man
Yes he was, he wBas, A mmm, yes he was
Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I'd try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come and tell me everything is all right
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right
Can I get away again tonight
How well I remember
A The look was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
B7 Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
E7 Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Look at us here, how much we've grown
And the oAnly one who could ever reach me
D Was the son of a prAeacher man
The oAnly boy who could ever teach me
D Was the son of a prAeacher man
Yes he was, he wEas, D7ooh yes he was
Coda:
(The oAnly one who could ever reach me
D Was the son of a prAeacher man)
He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man)
(The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man)
A kiss-stealin' 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)
