Chords
[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his Adaddy would visit he'd comeE along
When they gathered around and started talkin'
B 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
[Chorus]
The Eonly one who could ever reach me
A Was the son of a preacEher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
A Was the son of a preacEher man
Yes he was,E he was,B A ooh, yes he was E
[Verse 2]
E Bein' good isn't always easy
A No matter howE hard I try
When he started sweettalkin' to me
B He'd come'n tell me "Everything is all right"
He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right"
Can I get away again tonight?
[Chorus]
The Eonly one who could ever reach me
A Was the son of a preacEher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
A Was the son of a preacEher man
Yes he was,E he was,B A ooh, yes he was
[Bridge]
D How well I remember
A The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
B Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
E Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and
[Chorus]
The Aonly one who could ever reach me
D Was the son of a preacAher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
D Was the son of a preacAher man
Yes he was, he was,E D oh yes he was
[Outro]
A He was the Dsweettalkin' son of a preacAher man
