Bible And A Gun Lyrics

I wander back to days long ago, when the spirit of a man

Kept him honest as the hills that rolled into the western lands

On a horse I rode through that dusty hell, with the sweat upon my brow

And the heat from the summer sun that fell was more than mortal man allowed

I was then a small town preacher man, when a voice inside me said

Go forth to the badlands, and make them good again

I prepared to meet my rivals, I was not to be denied

I carried just the Holy Bible and a six gun by my side

Just a bible and a gun, just a bible and a gun,

Just a bible and a gun, just a bible and a gun

Somedays I faced the outlaw breed, guns smoking all around

I left some hanging from a tree or neath a tombstone in the ground

At night I'd lay beside the fire, and gaze upon the stars

And thank the heavens for the power that I was chosen for

Just a bible and a gun, just a bible and a gun,

Just a bible and a gun, just a bible and a gun

Just a bible and a gun, just a bible and a gun,

Just a bible and a gun, just a bible and a gun
