Son of a preacher man

SON OF A PREACHER MAN
Dusty Springfield

"Billy-Ray was a Preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered round and started talking
Cousin Billy would take me walking
Through the back yard we'd go walking
Then he'd look into my eye
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, oh yes he was

Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I tried
When he started sweet talking to me
he'd come tell me everything is alright
he'd kiss and tell me everything is alright
Can I get away again tonight ?

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, oh yes he was

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 others knowing
Looking to see how much we'd grown

The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was..."
