Boy that Billy Ray is a sly one. We never heard his side of the story. How many girlfriends you got, Bill?

lyrics

My name is billy-ray
Have you ever heard of me?
might know me as the preachers son
Buy my drinks for the day
Il tell you a story of myself
And how this girl thinks she's in love
See, Dad n me get around
To the lonely families
& he prays with the widows inside
and in each and every town's a
wild daughter I've found
Though they pretend to be shy
but once I get them alone
in the back of their home
and tell them to be clean before God
I'll put oil on their toes
and they start to disrobe
and believe when They say I'm the only one.

That's life for a Son of a Preacher
for pretty girls I know just how to reach them
That's life for the Son of a Preacher
for pretty girls I know just what to teach them

I know she says I'm love with her
I can't help it if they love my eyes.
If we could just get to the part
about me breaking her heart
I never said I wasn't cheating on the side
And once I leave this small town
I know word spreads around
you better not believe what they say I've done.
If you still don't understand
my Pap's a reputable-ble man
Where do think I learned that shit from?
