Bible On The Dash Lyrics - Cabin Fever - Corb Lund

A two night stand in Tulsa pullin out an headed west 

Freddie grabbed the Gideons from the hotel in the desk 

An we said whats the matter brother? Are you worried about your soul 

He said better safe than sorry boys, thats just how I role 

We hit the road a feelin cool as Crosby, Stills and Nash overflowin with the spirit an a bible on the dash 

Well we pulled the whole thing over for the flashin reds and blues 

The police come to the window and he said Have you heard the news? 

He said dont get smart with me boy, why you doin 95? 

my foot is heavy with redemption, Im just blessed to be alive! 

He said I oughtta pull you out a there an beat you black and blue 

I placed my hand upon the good book an said what would Jesus do? 

Its better than insurance, registration or lyin 

Its better than these fake IDs I have to keep buyin 

Its even better than an envelope stuffed with cash 

They always said itd save me, that old bible on the da-ash 

Well round these parts that hair alonell make probable cause 

If youre movin through my county, youll obey my earthly laws 

Well we did our best to quote some holy red chapter or verse 

what kinda music you boys makin? 

we said Christian music sir! 

well he thought about, contemplated, twirled his cop moustache 

alright yalls be careful now, just dont drive quite so fast 

Its better than insurance, registration or lyin 

Its better than these fake IDs I keep on buyin 

Its even better than an envelope stuffed with cash 

They always said itd save me, that old bible on the da-ash 

. 

Well crossin at the border a few months later we heard FREEZE 

Pull in over there son, we gonna do some search and seize. 

Maybe if wed been more famous hed a said just move along 

If hed a seen us on the TV, if we'd had hit single songs 

Well hes just about to ask us wheres the money guns and hash 

Well Is prayin it would save me, that ol bible on the dash 

His hand was on his pistol, his dog was on his leash 

An that shepard he was a keeping a pretty close eye on the sheep 

We got a list were gonna look at, see if we cant find your names 

We got parabolic laser beams hears everything you say 

We got ultraviolet x-rays that can see right through your bus 

Yes sir well I hope the good lord keeps an eye on all of us, yup 

Its better than a green card, its better than lyin 

Its better than these work visas I keep on buyin 

Its better than an envelope stuffed with cash 

Lord Im at the border with a bible on the da-ash
