The Bible and the Belt
Lyricist:Billy Austin, Marc Beeson
Well, I grew up back in the sticks I was raised on cornbread and scripture And praise God, for teachin' me wrong from right
I had a wild streak and three counties wide Devil had me dead in his site It was the hand of God that kept me out of the hands of the law
Mama brought them Bible, daddy brought them belt Mama set them table, daddy rung the bell The preacher did his best to show me the light But daddy was the one that kept me walkin' the line
Mama sang the gospel, daddy drove it home Mama was an angel, daddy was a 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
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I can still hear mama's voice in the choir She set the whole dang church on fire And it still burns in the deepest part of me
Mama brought them Bible, daddy brought them belt Mama set them table, daddy rung the bell The preacher did his best to show me the light But daddy was the one that kept me walkin' the line
Mama sang the gospel, daddy drove it home Mama was an angel, daddy was a brimstone One foot in Heaven, one foot in Hell I found religion 'tween the Bible and the belt I found religion
Mama sang the gospel, daddy drove it home Mama was an angel, daddy was a brimstone One foot in Heaven, one foot in Hell I found religion 'tween the Bible and the belt
One foot in Heaven, one foot in Hell I found religion 'tween the Bible and the belt
