Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit
He'd come along
When they gathered around and started talking
That's when Billy would take me walking
Out through the back yard
We'd go walking
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows
To my surprise
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
Yes, he was, he was
Ooh, yes he was
Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
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?
