Billy Ray was a preacher's son, [A] when his daddy would visit [E] he'd come along.
When we'd gather round and start a [B]-talkin', that's when Billy would take me walkin'.
Out through the backyard we'd go walkin', then he'd look into my [C#m]
[B] eyes.
Lord knows to my surprise, [E] the only boy who could ever [A] reach me, was Billy Ray.
Was [E] the son of a preacher man, the only one who could ever [A] teach me, was the son of a preacher man.
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was.
[E]
Being good isn't always [A] easy, no [E] matter how hard I try.
When he started sweet-talkin' to [B] me, come and tell me everything is alright.
He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright, can I get away again tonight.

Lord knows, yes he [D] was.
How well the [A] look was in his eyes, stealin' kisses from me on the slide.
[B] Takin' time to make time, tellin' me that he's all [E] mine.
Learnin' from each other's knowin', lookin' to see how much he'd [A] ever teach [D] me.
Was the son [A] of a preacher man, the only boy who could ever reach me, was the son of a preacher man.
Yes he was, [E] he [D] was, oh yes he was.
