[A#] [E]
Billy Ray was a preacher's son, [A] when his daddy would visit [E] he'd come along
When they'd gather round and started [B] talking, that's when Billy would take me walking
Up through the backyard we'd go walking, then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my [E] surprise, the only one who could ever teach [A] me
Was a son [E] of a preacher man, the only boy who could ever teach [A] me
Was a son [E] of a preacher man, you see what [B] he was, [A] you see what
[E]
Being good isn't always [A] easy, no matter how hard I [E] try
When he started sweet talking [B] to me, he'd come and tell me everything is alright
He'd kiss me on the head, everything is alright, can I get away again [E] tonight
The only one who could ever [A] teach me, was a [E] son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever [A] teach me, was a [E] son of a preacher man
You see what [B] he was, [A] Lord you know who he was, [D] yes he was
[A] He'd look me in the eyes, stealing kisses from me on [B] the side
Taking time to make time, telling me that he's all [E] mine
Learning from each other's knowing, looking to see how [C#m] much we've [A] grown
The only boy who could ever [D] teach me, was a [A] son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever [D] teach me, was a [A] son of a preacher man
