[E]
Billy Ray was a preacher's [A] son, and when his daddy would [E] visit he'd come along.
When they'd gather round his daughter [B] talking, Dustin Billy would take me a [B]-walking.
Out through the backyard we'd go [B] walking, then he'd look into my [B] eyes.
Lord knows to my [E] surprise, the only one who could ever [A] teach me, was the [E] son of a preacher man.
The only boy who could ever teach me, was the son of a preacher man.
Yes he was, he [B] was, [A] yes he was.
[E]
[Am] [E] Being good isn't always [A] easy, no matter [E] how hard I try.
When he started sweet talking [B] to me, he'd come and tell me everything is alright.
He'd kiss me, tell me everything's alright.
Can I get away again [E] tonight?
The only one who could ever teach me, was the son of a preacher man.
The only boy who could ever teach me, was the son of a preacher man.
Yes he was, [B] he was, [A] yes he [D] was.
[A] He was in his eyes, stealing kisses from me [B] on 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 much we've [A] grown.
[D] The only one who could ever teach 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.
Yes he was, [E] he was, [D] yes he was.
[A] He was [D] the sweet talking [A] son of a preacher man.
[D] I kiss him, [A] son of a preacher man.
They're the only ones who could ever prove [D] me
That I'm the son [A] of a preacher
They're the only ones who could ever prove me
[D] I'm a [A] preacher, man
