Son Of A Preacher Man Lyrics - Joan Osborne

Billy-Ray was a Preacher's son 

And when his daddy would visit he'd come along 

When they gathered round and started talking 

That's when 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 groove me 

Was the son of a preacher man 

He was, yes he was, oh yes he was
