Son of a Preacher Man

Billy Ray was a preacher's son

And when his daddy would visit he'd come along

When they gather 'round the parlour talking

That's when Billy would take me walking

Through the back yard we'd go walking

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 (Hallelujah)

Yeah, he was (Hallelujah)

Ohh, he was (Ohh Hallelujah)

Being good isn't always easy

No matter how hard I try

When he started sweet-talking to me

He keeps 'n tellin' me "Everything is all right" (Sock it to me)

Baby baby "Everything is all right"

(Ohh Sock it to me)

Can I sneak away again tonight now[Chorus]

The only one who could ever reach me

(Was the son of a preacher man)

I tell you that the only boy who could ever teach me

(Was the son of a preacher man)

Yes he was (Hallelujah)

Yeah, he was (Hallelujah)

Ohh, he was (Haaaa)

Hmmmm

How well I remember

The look that was in his eyes

Stealing kisses from me on the sly

Taking time to make time

Telling me that he's all mine

Learning from each other's knowing

Looking to see how much we're growing

The only boy who could ever reach me

(Was the son of a preacher man)

I tell you that the only boy who could ever teach me

(Was the son of a preacher man)

Ohh, yes he was (Hallelujah)

Yeah, he was (Hallelujah)

Ohh, he was (Ohh Hallelujah)

Hallelujah

(Son of a preacher man, Hallelujah)

Hallelujah for the son, now yeah

(Son of a preacher man, Hallelujah)

Hallelujah, yeah

(Son of a preacher man, Hallelujah)

For the son, Halle- Hallelujah for the son, now

(Son of a preacher man)

He was the only boy, yes he is, who could ever reach me

(Son of a preacher man)

He's the only boy who could ever teach me

(Son of a preacher man)
