Jan Howard - Son Of A Preacher Man Lyrics

Willy Ray was a preacher's son and when his daddy would visit he'd come along

When they gathered round and started talkin' that's when Billy would take me walkin'

Out through the backyard we'd go walkin'

And then he'd look into my eyes and 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 yes he was hmm 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 is all right

He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right and can we get away again tonight

The only one who could ever reach me...
