1. Billy-Ray was a Preacher's son, And when his daddy would visit he'd come along,

2. Being good isn't always easy, No matter how hard I'd try

1. When they gathered round and started talking, 2. When he started sweet-talkin' to me

1. Cousin Billy would take me walking,

Through the back yard we'd go walking, 2. He'd come and tell me everything is all right

Then he'd look into my eyes, He'd come and tell me everything is all right

Lord knows to my suprise: 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 reach me Was the son of a preacher..

Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was. (to verse 2)

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 boy who could ever reach me Was the son of a preacher..

Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.
