E                                           A                      E
Billy Ray was a preacher's son and when his daddy would visit he'd come along
                                              H7
When they'd gather 'round and started talking that's when Billy would take me walking
H7
A-through the back yard we'd go walking then he'd look into my eyes lord knows to my surprise

Chorus:
    E                                A                         E
The only one who could ever reach me was the son of a preacher man
    E                               A                  E
The only boy who could ever teach me  was the son of a preacher man
               H7       A           E
Yes he was, he was,     mmm, yes he was

Verse 2
Being good isn't always easy no matter how hard I'd try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me he'd come and tell me everything is all right
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right can I get away again tonight

(Yes, he was)  How well I remember the look was in his eyes stealin' kisses from me on the sly

Takin' time to make time tellin' me that he's all mine

Yes he was, he was,     mmm, yes he was
