Bible And The Belt Lyrics - Bucky - Bucky Covington

Well, I grew up back in the sticks 

I was raised on cornbread and scripture 

And praise God, for teachin' me wrong from right 

I had a wild streak and three counties wide 

Devil had me dead in his site 

It was the hand of God that kept me out of the hands of the law 

Mama brought them Bible, daddy brought them belt 

Mama set them table, daddy rung the bell 

The preacher did his best to show me the light 

But daddy was the one that kept me walkin' the line 

Mama sang the gospel, daddy drove it home 

Mama was an angel, daddy was a brimstone 

One foot in Heaven, one foot in Hell 

I found religion 'tween the Bible and the belt 

I guess it rings true what the 'Good Book' says 

What you learn young, you never forget 

Daddy's belt left quite an impression on me 

I can still hear mama's voice in the choir 

She set the whole dang church on fire 

And it still burns in the deepest part of me 

Mama brought them Bible, daddy brought them belt 

Mama set them table, daddy rung the bell 

The preacher did his best to show me the light 

But daddy was the one that kept me walkin' the line 

Mama sang the gospel, daddy drove it home 

Mama was an angel, daddy was a brimstone 

One foot in Heaven, one foot in Hell 

I found religion 'tween the Bible and the belt 

I found religion 

Mama sang the gospel, daddy drove it home 

Mama was an angel, daddy was a brimstone 

One foot in Heaven, one foot in Hell 

I found religion 'tween the Bible and the belt 

One foot in Heaven, one foot in Hell 

I found religion 'tween the Bible and the belt
