Son Of A Preacher Man - Eva Cassidy

Billy-Ray was a preacher’s son

And when his daddy would visit he’d come along

When they gathered around and started talking

That’s when Billy would take me walking

Out through the back yard we’d go walking

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

Oh, the only boy who could ever teach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes he was, he was, oh, you know he was

Being good isn’t always easy

No matter how hard I try

When he started sweet talking to me

He’d come and tell me everythings alright

He’d kiss and tell me everything is alright

Can I get away again tonight?

The only one who could ever teach me

Was the son of a preacher man

The only boy who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes, he was, he was, oh, you know he was

Oh, the only one who could ever teach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Oh, the only boy who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes, he was, he was, oh, you know he was

How well I remember

The look that was in his eyes

Stealing kisses from me on the sly

Taking time to make time

Telling me that he’s all mine

Learning from each other’s knowing

Looking to see how much we’re growing

And the only one who could ever teach me was

A son of a preacher man

Oh, the only boy who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes, he was, he was, oh you know he was

The only one who could ever teach me was

A son of a preacher man

Oh, the only boy who could ever reach me

Was the son of a preacher man

Yes, he was, he was, oh you know he was
