《That Old King James》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:31] Not a faded word

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

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

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

[00:00:48] England France and Germany

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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