Two night stand in Tulsa pullin' out and headed
west,
Brett he grabbed the Gideon's from the hotel in
the desk, an we said "what's the matter brother,
are you worried 'bout your soul?"
He said "Better safe than sorry boys, that's just
how I roll"
We hit the road a feelin' cool as Crosby Stills and
Nash, overflowin' with the spirit and the bible on
the dash.
We Pulled the ole thing over, for the flashin' red
and blues, police came to the window we said
"Have you heard the news?!"
"Now don't get smart with me boy, why you doin'
95?"
"My foot is heavy with redemption, I'm just
blessed to be alive"
He said "I oughta pull you outa there and beat
you black and blue"
I placed my hand upon the good book, said "What
would Jesus do?"
It's better than insurance, registraion or lyin'
It's better than these fake I.D.s I keep on
buyin'
It's even better than an envelope stuffed with
cash, they always said it'd save me that old
(walk down to )
bible on the dash
Around these parts a hair alone will make
probable cause
If you're movin' through my county, you'll
obey my earthly laws
Yes we did our best to quote some holy rich
chapter an' verse
What kinda music y'alls makin' we said
"Christian music sir!"
He thought about it, contemplated, twirled his cop
mustache, "Alright you boys be careful now,
just don't drive quite so fast"
Crossin' at the border few months later we
heard "Freeze!"
"Pull in over there, son, we're gonna do some
search and seize"
Well maybe if we'd been more famous he'd a said
just move along, if he's a seen us on the TV, if
we had hit single songs
He's just about to ask us where's the money,
guns and hash, I was hopin' it'd save me that old
bible on the dash
Well his hand was on his pistol and his dog was
on his leash, and that shepherd he was a keepin'
a pretty close eye on his sheep
"We got a list we gonna look at, see if we can't
find your names, we got parabolic laser beams
hears everything you say, we got ultra voilet
x-rays that can see right through your bus"
I guess we'll see if the good lord's truly watchin'
over us
It's better than a green card, it's better than lyin'
It's better than these work visas I keep ion buyin'
It's even better than an envelope, stuffed with
cash, Lord I'm at the border with the bible on the
dash
