Son Of A Preacher Man
Billy-Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they'd gather 'round and started talkin'
Is when Billy would take me walkin'
A' through the backyard we'd go walkin'
And then he'd look into my eyes
And lord knows to my surprise
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, yes he was
Oh, yes he was
Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I'd try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come and tell me everything is all right
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right
And can we get away again tonight?
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, yes he was
Oh, yes he was
How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowing
Lookin' to see how much we been growin'
And the only boy who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, yes he was
Oh
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Filho de um Pastor
Billy-Ray era filho de um pastor
E quando seu pai vinha visitar, ele ia junto
Quando se reuniam e começavam a conversar
Era quando Billy me levava pra andar
Pelo quintal a gente ia passeando
E então ele olhava nos meus olhos
E Deus sabe da minha surpresa
O único que poderia me alcançar
Era o filho de um pastor
O único garoto que poderia me ensinar
Era o filho de um pastor
Sim, ele era, sim, ele era
Oh, sim, ele era
Ser boazinha nem sempre é fácil
Não importa o quanto eu tentasse
Quando ele começava a me fazer charme
Ele vinha e dizia que estava tudo bem
Ele me beijava e dizia que estava tudo bem
E será que a gente pode sair de novo hoje à noite?
O único que poderia me alcançar
Era o filho de um pastor
O único garoto que poderia me ensinar
Era o filho de um pastor
Sim, ele era, sim, ele era
Oh, sim, ele era
Como eu me lembro bem
Do olhar que havia em seus olhos
Rouba beijos de mim às escondidas
Tirando um tempo pra fazer tempo
Dizendo que ele é todo meu
Aprendendo um com o outro
Olhando pra ver o quanto a gente cresceu
E o único garoto que poderia me alcançar
Era o filho de um pastor
O único garoto que poderia me ensinar
Era o filho de um pastor
Sim, ele era, sim, ele era
Oh
O único que poderia me alcançar
Era o filho de um pastor
O único garoto que poderia me ensinar
Era o filho de um pastor
