Due West - Bible & The Belt lyrics

I grew up back in the sticks I was raised on cornbread and scripture And praise god for teaching me wrong from right I had a wild streak three counties wide Devil had me dead in his sights It was the hand of god that kept me Out of the hands of the law [Chorus:] Mamma brought the bible daddy brung the belt Mamma set the table daddy rung the bell The preacher did his best to show me the light But daddy was the one that kept me walking the line Mamma sang the gospel daddy drove it home Mamma was an angel daddy was the brimstone One foot in heaven one foot in hell I found religion tween the bible and the belt I guess it rings true what the good book says What you learn young you never forget Daddy's belt left quite an impression on me I can still hear mamma's voice in the choir She'd set the whole damn church on fire And it still burns in the deepest part of me [Chorus:] Mamma brought the bible daddy brung the belt Mamma set the table daddy rung the bell The preacher did his best to show me the light But daddy was the one that kept me walking the line Mamma sang the gospel daddy drove it home Mamma was an angel daddy was the brimstone One foot in heaven one foot in hell I found religion tween the bible and the belt [repeat]
