Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered around and started talkin'
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
How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Was the son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only one
Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered around and started talkin'
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
How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Was the son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only one reach me
Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered around and started talkin'
