Letras
[Verse 1]
Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered around the parlor talking
That's when Billy would take me walking
Through the back yard we'd go walking
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise
[Verse 2]
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, oh, he was
(Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah)
[Verse 3]
Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talking to me
He'd tell me everything is alright
Baby, baby, everything is alright
Can I sneak away again tonight?
[Verse 4]
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, oh, he was
(Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah)
[Verse 5]
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've grown and
[Verse 6]
The only boy 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, oh, he was
(Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah)
Hallelujah
[Verse 7]
(Son of a preacher man)
Hallelujah
(Son of a preacher man)
Hallelujah
(Son of a preacher man)
Hallelujah for the son
(Son of a preacher man)
He was the only boy, yes, he is, that could ever reach me
(Son of a preacher man)
(Hallelujah)
