Son Of A Preacher Man feat Steve Cropper & Brian Auger Songtext
Billy Ray was the preacher′s son
Daddy would visit, he'd come along
They′d gather 'round and started talkin'
That′s when Billy would take me walkin′
Through the backyard, 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, yeah, 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 and tell me, "Everything's alright"
He'd kiss and tell me, "Everything′s alright"
Can I get away tonight?
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, yeah, he was
He was, ooh, Lord knows he was
How well I remember
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 each other's knowin′
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and
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, oh, yes, he was
The only boy who could ever teach 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
(Oh, yes, he was)
Daddy would visit, he'd come along
They′d gather 'round and started talkin'
That′s when Billy would take me walkin′
Through the backyard, 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, yeah, 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 and tell me, "Everything's alright"
He'd kiss and tell me, "Everything′s alright"
Can I get away tonight?
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, yeah, he was
He was, ooh, Lord knows he was
How well I remember
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 each other's knowin′
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and
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, oh, yes, he was
The only boy who could ever teach 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
(Oh, yes, he was)
