Bible Versus – Adam Sanders

When you’re from down around where I grew up
You go down in that river then you come back up
Then one night in field ’round a bonfire lit
You get passed a jar, and you take a little sip
So here I sit

It’s like oh, oh, oh
That King James says, “Boy, you know better” oh, oh, oh
But that bottle says, “Boy, you can’t let her go” oh, oh
Since she’s been gone, I’ve been leanin’ on what gets me
High and over empty
Bible versus whiskey

Some nights it’s them words in red
That helps me, heals me, clears my head
But then other nights when I ain’t that tough
It’s straight ninety-proof in a Dixie cup
As I fill ‘er up

It’s like oh, oh, oh
That King James says, “Boy, you know better” oh, oh, oh
But that bottle says, “Boy, you can’t let her go” oh, oh
Since she’s been gone, I’ve been leanin’ on what gets me
High and over empty
Bible versus whiskey

That devil right here on my shoulder
Keeps remindin’ me that I can’t hold her

It’s like oh, oh, oh
That King James says, “Boy, you know better” oh, oh, oh
But that bottle says, “Boy, you can’t let her go” oh, oh
Since she’s been gone, I’ve been leanin’ on what gets me
High and over empty

And it’s like oh, oh, oh
That King James says, “Boy, you know better” oh, oh, oh
But that bottle says, “Boy, you can’t let her go” oh, oh
Since she’s been gone, I’ve been leanin’ on what gets me
High and over empty
Bible versus whiskey
