Bible & the Belt |
| I grew up back in the sticks |
| I was raised on cornbread and scripture |
| And praise god for teaching me wrong from right |
| I had a wild streak three counties wide |
| Devil had me dead in his sights |
| It was the hand of god that kept me |
| Out of the hands of the law |
| Mamma brought the bible daddy brung the belt |
| Mamma set the table daddy rung the bell |
| The preacher did his best to show me the light |
| But daddy was the one that kept me walking the line |
| Mamma sang the gospel daddy drove it home |
| Mamma was an angel daddy was the brimstone |
| One foot in heaven one foot in hell |
| I found religion tween the bible and the belt |
| I guess it rings true what the good book says |
| What you learn young you never forget |
| Daddy’s belt left quite an impression on me |
| I can still hear mamma’s voice in the choir |
| She’d set the whole damn church on fire |
| And it still burns in the deepest part of me |
| Mamma brought the bible daddy brung the belt |
| Mamma set the table daddy rung the bell |
| The preacher did his best to show me the light |
| But daddy was the one that kept me walking the line |
| Mamma sang the gospel daddy drove it home |
| Mamma was an angel daddy was the brimstone |
| One foot in heaven one foot in hell |
| I found religion tween the bible and the belt |
