Linda Eder - Son Of A Preacher Man Lyrics
Lyrics: John Hurley/Ronnie WilkinsJimmy Ray was a preacher's sonWhen his daddy would visit he'd come alongWhen 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 eyesLord knows to my surpriseThe only one who could ever reach meWas the son of a preacher manThe only boy who could ever teach meWas the son of a preacher manYes he was, he was, ooh...Being good isn't always easyNo matter how hard I tryWhen he started sweet talkin' to meHe'd come 'n tell me ev'rything is alrightkiss and tell me ev'rything is alrightAnd "can I sneak away again tonight The only one who could ever reach meWas the son of a preacher manThe only boy who could ever teach meWas the son of a preacher manYes he was, he was, ooh...How well I rememberThe look that was in his eyesStealin' kisses from me on the slyTakin' time to make timeTellin' me that he's all mineLearnin' from each other's knowin'And lookin' to seeHow much we've grownAnd the only one who could ever reach meWas the son of a preacher manThe only boy who could ever teach meWas the son of a preacher man
