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

D  

When they gathered around and started talkin'

A

That's when Billy would take me walkin'



Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'



Then he'd look into my eyes. Lord knows, to my surprise

Ref.: 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

	    D	      A	   G		  D

Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was



2. Bein' good isn't always easy

No matter how hard I try

When he started sweet-talkin' to me

He'd come'n tell me "Everything is all right"

He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right"

Can I get away again tonight?



Ref.: The only one who could ever reach me...

...Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was (yes he was)



C 			    G

How well I remember the look that was in his eyes stealin' kisses from me on the sly

A

Takin' time to make time tellin' me that he's all mine

D

Learnin' from each other's knowin' lookin' to see how much we've grown and
