Son Of A Preacher Man

Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they'd gather 'round the parlor talking
That's when Billy would take me walking
Through the back yard we'd go walking
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord 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 easy
No matter how hard I'd try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right
Baby, baby everything is all right
Can 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 remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Lookin' to see how much we've grown
[Chorus] Key of A
A
And 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)
