Verse 1
E
Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his
A
daddy would visit he'd
E
come along
When they'd gather 'round and started talking
B
That's when Billy would take me walking
A-through the back yard we'd go walking
Then he'd look into my eyes
B7
Lord knows to my surprise

E
only one who could ever reach me
A

The
E
only boy who could ever teach me
A
Was the son of a
E
preacher man
Yes he
E
was, he
B
was,
A
mmm, yes he was

Being good isn't always easy
A
No matter how hard I'd

When he started sweet-talkin' to me

Learnin' from each other's knowin'
