A Bible And A Belt

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]
