Billy Ray was a preacher's son
		   A              		      E		
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along 
(E)
When they gathered around and started talkin'

B7				throughout the whole stanza (B7)
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

Chorus:
E
The only one who could ever reach me
A              	         E
Was the son of a preacher man
E           
The only boy who could ever teach me
A  			E
Was the son of a preacher man
	
 
D          A           E

E

A         	      E
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me

He'd come'n tell me "Everything is all right"
He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right"
Can I get away again tonight?

Chorus

D
How well I remember
A
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
B7
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
E
Learnin' from each other's knowin'
			E7	
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and
