i really wanted to do some cover songs and i recently became a dusty springfield fan. when i found out that both my dad and
my brother liked this song it made my choice easy. several people have recordedthis, but i must say that i am partial to dusty's version
with her as my guide and some incredible musicians and background singers i think we found our version.
jimmy ray was a preacher's son
when his daddy would visit he'd come along
when they gathered 'round the parlor talkin'
cousing jimmy would take me walkin'
out through the backyard we'd go walkin'
and 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 (bis)
yes he was, he was, ooh..
being goog isn't always easy
no matter how hard i try
when he stared sweet talkin' to me
he'd come'n tell me ev'rything is alright
kiss and tell me ev'rything is alright
and " can i sneak away again tonight"
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, ooh...
how well i remember
the look that was in his eyes
stealin' kisses from me on the sly
taking' time to make time tellin' me that he's all mine
learnin' from each other's knowin'
and 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 ]wasn the son of a preacher
