A Bible And A Belt - Joey Rory[00:00:00]
Written by:Rory Feek/Philip Coleman[00:00:02]
They were both made of leather[00:00:13]
Both black and frayed and worn[00:00:16]
I was brought up to respect them[00:00:20]
Since the day that I was born[00:00:23]
One came here from england[00:00:26]
It's been handed down for years[00:00:29]
The other one was ordered from[00:00:33]
A catalog at sears[00:00:36]
One my mamma read to me till[00:00:41]
I was well into my teens[00:00:44]
I thought all the other one was for[00:00:47]
Was to hold up daddy's Jeans[00:00:50]
Till I told a lie and learned it had[00:00:53]
Another purpose too[00:00:57]
Out behind the she'd my daddy said[00:01:00]
This'll hurt me more than you[00:01:03]
'Cause one had my daddy's name on it[00:01:08]
The other said king James[00:01:11]
With love they taught us lessons[00:01:14]
But we feared them both the same[00:01:17]
One led us to heaven[00:01:21]
And the other left a welt[00:01:24]
Those were the days when kids were raised[00:01:28]
With a bible and a belt[00:01:33]
I remember when I was twelve[00:01:41]
I stole a dime store comic book[00:01:44]
How mamma read where the scriptures said[00:01:48]
To take back what I took[00:01:51]
When I refused my daddy grabbed my arm and said[00:01:54]
Come on[00:01:59]
I needed more he knew than just Matthew[00:02:00]
Mark and Luke and John[00:02:04]
Well sometimes they made me cry[00:02:08]
Sometimes they made me fightin' mad[00:02:11]
And I wished I'd been raised without them[00:02:15]
Like some other children had[00:02:18]
But now I'm grown with kids of my own[00:02:22]
And I know just how they felt[00:02:25]
You know it seems to me what the world still needs[00:02:28]
Is a bible and a belt[00:02:31]
'Cause one had my daddy's name on it[00:02:36]
The other said king James[00:02:39]
With love they taught us lessons[00:02:42]
We feared them both the same[00:02:45]
One led us to heaven[00:02:49]
And the other hurt like hell[00:02:52]
Those were the days when kids were raised[00:02:56]
With a bible and a belt[00:03:01]
A bible[00:03:08]
And a belt[00:03:11]
