Billy-Ray was a preacher's son
and when his daddy would visit he'd come along
when they gathered around and started talkin'
that's when Billy would take me walkin'
out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
the only one who could ever reach me
the only boy who could ever teach me
yes he was, he was, ooh, he was
when he started sweet-talkin' to me
he'd come and tell me everythings alright
he'd kiss and tell me everything is alright
the only one who could ever reach me
the only boy who could ever teach me
yes he was, he was, ooh,lord no's he was
stealin' kisses from me on the sly
learnin' from each other's knowin'
lookin' to see how much we're growin’
an the only one who could ever reach me was
the only boy who could ever teach me
yes he was, he was, oh yes he was
the only one who could ever reach me
he was a sweet talkin'son of a preacher man
the only boy who could ever teach me
i guess he was the son of a preacher man
