Son Of A Preacher Man — текст песни (Foo Fighters)

(John Hurley / Ronnie Wilkins)

Billy-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`
A-through the back yard we`d go walkin`
Then he`d look into my eyes
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, he was, mmm, 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
Can I 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, he was, Lord knows 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`ve grown

And 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, he was, oh, yes he was
He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
I guessed he was the son of a preacher man
Sweet-lovin` son of a preacher man
Ahh, move me
