That Old King James - Scotty McCreery[00:00:01]

Preacher gave it to him when he was eight [00:00:12]

That Sunday morning he got saved in that little church[00:00:17]

Grandaddy totted it to Bible school[00:00:24]

I bet back then it looked brand new [00:00:28]

Not a faded word[00:00:31]

Now the cover's torn and the leather's worn [00:00:36]

On that Old King James[00:00:41]

He took it with him overseas [00:00:44]

England France and Germany[00:00:48]

Right there in the middle of hell[00:00:51]

Said he read it every night [00:00:56]

He swore that it'd saved his life[00:00:59]

His only hope when there was no hope left[00:01:02]

Was in that Old King James[00:01:07]

Passed it down to Momma on the day he died[00:01:23]

Sat there for the longest time just gathering the dust[00:01:27]

But when life would take a sharp turn every now and then[00:01:34]

And she would just start missing him [00:01:39]

I'd see her pick it up[00:01:41]

Now the cover's torn and the leather's worn [00:01:46]

On that Old King James[00:01:51]

You'll find on every other page [00:01:54]

Yellow lines or tear drop stains[00:01:58]

Every chapter of that good book[00:02:01]

Been through cancer war and crazy kids [00:02:06]

All the stupid things I did[00:02:10]

I may never know the toll I took [00:02:12]

On her and that Old King James[00:02:17]

Yeah I'm the one who's got it now [00:02:49]

She said read it when you're feeling down and I said [00:02:52]

"Yes Ma'am"[00:02:56]

Now the cover's torn and the leather's worn [00:02:59]

On that Old King James[00:03:06]
