[00:00:00] A Bible And A Belt - Joey Rory

[00:00:02] Written by：Rory Feek/Philip Coleman

[00:00:13] They were both made of leather

[00:00:16] Both black and frayed and worn

[00:00:20] I was brought up to respect them

[00:00:23] Since the day that I was born

[00:00:26] One came here from england

[00:00:29] It's been handed down for years

[00:00:33] The other one was ordered from

[00:00:36] A catalog at sears

[00:00:41] One my mamma read to me till

[00:00:44] I was well into my teens

[00:00:47] I thought all the other one was for

[00:00:50] Was to hold up daddy's Jeans

[00:00:53] Till I told a lie and learned it had

[00:00:57] Another purpose too

[00:01:00] Out behind the she'd my daddy said

[00:01:03] This'll hurt me more than you

[00:01:08] 'Cause one had my daddy's name on it

[00:01:11] The other said king James

[00:01:14] With love they taught us lessons

[00:01:17] But we feared them both the same

[00:01:21] One led us to heaven

[00:01:24] And the other left a welt

[00:01:28] Those were the days when kids were raised

[00:01:33] With a bible and a belt

[00:01:41] I remember when I was twelve

[00:01:44] I stole a dime store comic book

[00:01:48] How mamma read where the scriptures said

[00:01:51] To take back what I took

[00:01:54] When I refused my daddy grabbed my arm and said

[00:01:59] Come on

[00:02:00] I needed more he knew than just Matthew

[00:02:04] Mark and Luke and John

[00:02:08] Well sometimes they made me cry

[00:02:11] Sometimes they made me fightin' mad

[00:02:15] And I wished I'd been raised without them

[00:02:18] Like some other children had

[00:02:22] But now I'm grown with kids of my own

[00:02:25] And I know just how they felt

[00:02:28] You know it seems to me what the world still needs

[00:02:31] Is a bible and a belt

[00:02:36] 'Cause one had my daddy's name on it

[00:02:39] The other said king James

[00:02:42] With love they taught us lessons

[00:02:45] We feared them both the same

[00:02:49] One led us to heaven

[00:02:52] And the other hurt like hell

[00:02:56] Those were the days when kids were raised

[00:03:01] With a bible and a belt

[00:03:08] A bible

[00:03:11] And a belt
