son of a preacher man

Singer:arden, jann

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'

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

bein' 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"
