Tabitha Fair - Son of a Preacher Man lyrics

Jimmy Ray was a preacher's son When his daddy would visit he'd come along When they gathered 'round the parlor talkin' Cousin Jimmy would take me walkin' Out through the backyard we'd go walkin' And 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 Yes he was, he was, ooh... Being good isn't always easy No matter how hard I try When he started sweet talkin' to me He'd come 'n tell me ev'rything is alright Kiss and tell me ev'rything is alright And "can I sneak away again 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 Yes he was, he was, ooh... 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' And 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, yeah The only boy who could ever reach me was a sweet talkin son of a preacher man...ooo son of a preacher man
