Billy Ray was a preacher's son, [A] and when his daddy would visit [E] he'd come along
When he'd gather round and start a [B]-talkin'
That's when Billy would take me a-walkin'
Through the backyard we'd go walkin'
Then he looked into my eyes
Lord knows my clip [E] right
The only boy who could ever reach [A] me
Was a son of a preacher's man
The only boy who could ever teach [A] me
Was a [E] son of a preacher's man
Yes he was, [B] he was
[A] Mmm, yes he [E] was
[B] [E]
Being good isn't always [A] easy
No [B] matter how hard I [E] try
When he'd start a sweet [B]-talkin' to me
He'd come and tell me everything is alright
He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright
Can I get away again [E] tonight?

[A] Mmm, yes he [D] was
[Am] How [D] I loved [A] the look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the [B] fly

Lookin' to see how my dream
