DUSTY SPRINGFIELD - Son Of A Preacher Man lyrics

Billy-ray was a preachers son

And when his daddy would visit he'd come along

When they gathered round and started talking

Thats when Billy would take me walking

A-through the backyard 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, he was, mmm, 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 all right

He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right

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, lord knows he was.

How well I remember

The look that was in his eyes

Stealin kisses from me on the sly

Taking time to make time

Telling me that he's all mine

Learnin from each others knowing

Lookin to see how much weve grown.

And 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

He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man

I guessed he was the son of a preacher man

Sweet-lovin son of a preacher man

Ahh, move me.
