Billy-Ray was a preacher’s son
And when his daddy would go to he’d come alongside
Once they gathered round and began talkin’
That’s when Billy would take me walkin’
Out by the again yard we’d go walkin’
Then he’d look into my eyes
Lord is aware of to my shock
The one one who might ever attain me
Was the son of a preacher man
The one boy who might ever train me
Was the son of a preacher man
Sure he was, he was, ooh, he was
Bein’ good isn’t at all times straightforward
Irrespective of how exhausting I strive
When he began sweet-talkin’ to me
He’d come and inform me everythings alright
He’d kiss and inform me every thing is alright
Can I get away once more tonight?
The one one who might ever attain me
Was the son of a preacher man
The one boy who might ever train me
Was the son of a preacher man
Sure he was, he was, ooh,lord no’s he was
How nicely I keep in mind
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin’ kisses from me on the sly
Takin’ time to make time
Tellin’ me that he’s all mine
Learnin’ from one another’s knowin’
Lookin’ to see how a lot we’re growin’
An the one one who might ever attain me was
A son of a preacher man
The one boy who might ever train me
Was the son of a preacher man
Sure he was, he was, oh sure he was
The one one who might ever attain me
he was a candy talkin’son of a preacher man
The one boy who might ever train me
I assume he was the son of a preacher man
the one one was a candy talkin’ son of a preacher man
The one one …
