[Intro] E E7 x7 [Verse 1]
E7
Billy-Ray was a preacher's son

A7
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along

E7
When they gathered around and started talking

B
That's when Billy would take me walking
Out through the back yard we'd go walking
B7
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise [Chorus]
E                      E7

Was the son of a preacher man
Oh, the only boy who could ever teach me

No matter how hard I try

                                    B7
When he started sweet talking to me

B7
He'd come and tell me everything's alright

He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright

B7
Can I get away again tonight?

How well I remember

A
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

Looking to see how much we're growing [Chorus]
