Bible Verses lyrics

[Verse 1]

I never worn a halo

Don’t suppose I ever will

As far as saving me goes

It’s a battle up a hill

But I keep climbin’, tryin’, fightin

Got a King James in the dresser

And I take it out sometimes

But Lord knows, I ain’t measured

Up to what’s inside

And they say, “But that’s okay”

But I keep praying for the day

[Chorus]

That I can open up that good book

And Heaven don’t look

Like it’s out of reach

When it feels like those apostles

Are giving me the gospel

And not the third degree

I just wanted to read

Like Bible verses

And not the Biblе versus me

[Verse 2]

I woke up in last night’s clothеs

And it’s whisky on my lips

If God’s looking down, I know

He’s really looking down on this

But I have faith that I can change

I keep praying for the day

[Chorus]

That I can open up that good book

And Heaven don’t look

Like it’s out of reach

When it feels like those apostles

Are giving me the gospel

And not the third degree

I just wanted to read

Like Bible verses

And not the Biblе versus me

[Bridge]

I’m just tryin’ to give myself a little grace

‘Til those words and me get on the same page

[Chorus]

That I can open up that good book

And Heaven don’t look

Like it’s out of reach

When it feels like those apostles

Are giving me the gospel

And not the third degree

I just wanted to read

Like Bible verses

And not the Biblе versus me
