Son Of a Preacher Man lyrics

Joan Osborne See albums and popular songs

Billy-Ray was a Preacher's son

And when his daddy would visit he'd come along

When they gathered round and started talking

Cousin Billy would take me walking

Through the back yard we'd go walking

Then he'd look into my eyes

Lord knows to my suprise

Chorus:

The only boy 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

He was, yes he was, oh yes he was

Being good isn't always easy

No matter how hard I tried

When he started sweet talking to me

He'd come and tell me everything is alright

He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright

Can I get away again tonight

Chorus

How well I remember

The look that was in his eyes

Stealing kisses from me on the sly

Taking time to make time

Telling me that he's all mine

Learning from each others knowing

Looking to see how much we'd grown

The only boy who could ever move me

Was the son of a preacher man

The only boy who could ever groom me

Was the son of a preacher man

He was, yes he was, oh yes he was
