Son of a Preacher Man

Billy-Ray was a preacher's son And when his daddy would visit, he'd come along (ooh) When they gathered round and started talking That's when Billy would take me walking Through the backyard, we'd go walking Then he'd look into my eyes Lord knows to my surprise The only boy 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 He was, he was Yes, he was Being good isn't always easy No matter how hard I try (ooh-ooh) When he started sweet-talking 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?
