[Intro] D G D G D [Verse]
D
Billy Ray was a preacher's son

             G                      D
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along

D
When they gathered around and started talking

            A
That's when Billy would take me walking

A
To the backyard we'd go walking

A
Then he'd look into my eyes

A
Lord knows, to my surprise
{Chorus]
    D                                G
The only one who could ever reach me

                 D
Was the son of a preacher man

                                     G
The only boy who could ever teach me

                 D

Yes, he was, he was, ooh, yes he was
[Verse]
                             G
Being good isn't always easy

              D
No matter how hard I try

                                    A
When he started sweet-talking to me

A
He'd come 'n tell me, "Everything is alright"

A
He'd kiss and tell me, "Well, everything is alright

A
Can I get away again tonight?"
{Chorus]
    D                                G

Yes, he was, he was, ooh, lordy, lordy, he was
[Bridge]
                    G
How well I remember

G
The look that was in his eyes

                                   A
Stealing kisses from me on the sly

A
Taking time to make time

                              D
Telling me that he's all mine

D
Learning from each other's knowing

D
Looking to see how much we've grown and
