Bible on the Dash

two night standing tulsa pulling out and headed west

birdie grabbed a gideons from the hotel in the desk

and we said what's the matter brother

are you worried about your soul

he said better safe than sorry boys

cause that's just how i roll

we hit the road of feeling cool

as cross the steels and ash

overflowing with the spirit and the bible on the dash

we pulled the whole thing over

for the flashing rhythm blues

police came to the window

we said have you heard the news

now don't get smart with me boy

why you doing ninety five

my foot is heavy with redemption

i'm just blessed to be alive

he said all to pull you out of there

and beat you black and blue

i place my hand up on the good book

said what would jesus do

it's better than insurance registration or life

it's better than these fake id's i keep on buying

it's even better than an envelope stuffed with cash

but they always said it saved me

that old bible on the dash

around these parts of her alone

will make probable cause

if you're moving through my county

you'll obey my earthly laws

yes we did our best to quote some holy rich chapter

and verse what kind of music you're making

we said christian music sir

he contemplated thought about it

twirl his cop moustache

alright you boys be careful

now just don't drive quite so fast it's

better than insurance registration or lying

it's better than those fake i d's i keep on buying

it's even better than an envelope stuffed with cash

well they always said it saved me

that old bible on the dash

crossing at the border

few months later we heard freeze pulling over there

some gonna do some searching seas

well maybe if we'd been more famous

he'd have said just move along

if he'd have seen us on the tv

or if we'd have hit single song

he's just about to ask us where the money guns and **

well i was hoping it save me that old bible on the dash

well his hand was on his pistol

and his dog was on his leash

and that shepherd he was keeping

a pretty close eye on his sheet

we got a list we gonna look at

see if we can't find your name

we got parabolic laser beams

here's everything you say

we got ultraviolet x rays

that can see right through your bus

i guess we'll see if the good lord

is truly watching over us

it's better than a green card

it's better than lying

it's better than these work visas i keep on buying

it's even better than an envelope stuffed with cash

lord i'm at the border with the bible on the dash
