Son Of A Preacher Man

Billy Ray was the preacher\'s son
And when his daddy would visit he\'d come along
When they gathered \'round 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
Being 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\""
