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