Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit
When they gathered around
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
Out through the back yard
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise
Was the son of a preacher man
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes, he was, he was, ooh, yes,
Bein' good isn't always easy
When he started sweet talkin' to me
"Everything is all right"
"Everything is all right"
Can I get away again tonight?
Was the son of a preacher man
Was the son of a preacher man
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Was the son of a preacher man
Was the son of a preacher man
He was the sweet talkin' son
Was the son of a preacher man
(The only one who could ever
in' son of a preacher man
