[Verse 1]
E
Billy Ray was a preacher's son
A E
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered around and started talkin'
B
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise
[Chorus]
E
The only one who could ever reach me
A E
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
A E
Was the son of a preacher man
E B A E
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was
[Verse 2]
E
Bein' good isn't always easy
A E
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweettalkin' to me
B
He'd come'n tell me "Everything is all right"
He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right"
Can I get away again tonight?
[Chorus]
E
The only one who could ever reach me
A E
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
A E
Was the son of a preacher man
E B A
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was
[Bridge]
D
How well I remember
A
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
B
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
E
Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and
[Chorus]
A
The only one who could ever reach me
D A
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
D A
Was the son of a preacher man
E D
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was
[Outro]
