Son Of A Preacher Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Willy Ray was a preacher's son and when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered round and started talkin' that's when Billy would take me walkin'
Out 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 hmm yes he was
Being good isn't always easy no matter how hard I 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...
