_ Billy Ray was a preacher's son, and [A] when his daddy would visit [E] he'd come along
When they'd gather round they'd start a [B]-talkin'
That's when Billy would take [C#m] me a [B]-walkin'
Out through the backyard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my [B] eyes, Lord knows to my [E] surprise
The only one who could ever reach [A] me
Was the son [E] of a preacher, [A] man
[E] The only boy who could ever teach [A] me
Was the 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 [E] matter how hard I tried
When he started sweet-talkin' [B] to me
He'd come and tell me everything is alright
He'd kiss and tell me everything's [B] alright
Can I get away again [E] tonight?
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
You see what [B] he was, [A] Lord knows he was
[D] You see what he was, Lord knows he was
He'd _ _ _ _ [A] _ look within 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 [D] reach me
Was the [A] son of a preacher, man
The only boy who could ever [D] teach me
Was the [A] son of a preacher, man
You see what [E] he was, he [D] was
Oh yes, he was
[A] The only one who could ever teach [D] me
He was the sweet-talkin [A] son of a preacher, man
The only boy who could ever teach [D] me
Kissing [A] son of a preacher
The only boy who could ever prove [D] me
Sweet was the son [A] of a preacher, man
The only lord who could ever prove [D] me
