Billy Ray was a preacher's sonAnd when his daddy would visit he'd come alongWhen they'd gather 'round the parlor talkingThat's when Billy would take me walkingThrough the back yard we'd go walkingThen he'd look into my eyesLord knows to my surprise[Chorus]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) oh, he was, yeah (oh hallelujah)[Instrumental][Verse 2]Being good isn't always easyNo matter how hard I'd tryWhen he started sweet-talkin' to meHe'd kiss and tell me everything is all rightBaby, baby everything is all rightCan I sneak away again tonight, now[Chorus]The only one who could ever reach me(Was the son of a preacher man)I said, yeah the only boy who could ever teach me(Was the son of a preacher man)[Próxima Parte]Yes he was, (hallelujah) yeah he was, (hallelujah) oh, he was, (oh) mmmmmm[Bridge]How well I rememberThe look that was in his eyesStealin' kisses from me on the slyTakin' time to make timeTellin' me that he's all mineLearnin' from each other's knowin'Lookin' to see how much we've grown[Chorus] Key of AAAnd the only boy who could ever reach me[Refrão] (repetir)[Próxima Parte]Oh yes he was, (hallelujah) yeah he was, (hallelujah) oh, he was (oh hallelujah)[Coda]Hallelujah (Son of a preacher man)Hallelujah for the son, now yeah (Son of a preacher man)Hallelujah, yeah (Son of a preacher man)For the son, yeah, hallelujah for the son now (Son of a preacher man)He's 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)
