    SOUNDTRACK: Son Of A Preacher Man by The John Does

    Soundtrack to Down Home: Down Low by Parker St. John

    This Dusty Springfield classic is Cal and Eli’s favorite song when they were teenagers. It was their subtle way of letting the world know about their relationship at the time when they had to keep it a secret. Eli was the literal preacher’s son. This indie rock version from a guy POV are The John Does doing God’s work. Blessed be!

    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 backyard 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
    Ooh, 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
    (Ooh…) Lord knows he was
    Yes 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
    Ooh, yes he was

    The only one who could ever reach me
    He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
    The only boy who could ever teach me
    I kissed the son of a preacher man
    The only one who could ever move me
    The sweet-lovin’ son of a preacher man
    The only one who could ever groove me
    Ahh, ooh, ahh….
