"Bottle On The Bible" lyrics

There's a bottle on the bible
On the nightstand by the bed
One's about half empty
The others 'bout half read
No one sees and no one hears
The demons in his head
Cause it's the bottle on the bible
On the night stand by the bed

It's a battle 'tween salvation and the sin
The question at the end of the day
Is which one's gonna win
Choose between the spirits
The red words or the gin
Cause it's the bottle or the bible
On the nightstand by the bed

There's a pistol in the closet
In a box inside the chest
Restin' 'neath his easter blue
Three piece Sunday best
The devil's knockin' at the door
But service starts at ten
So it's the bottle or the bible
On the night stand by the bed

It's a battle 'tween salvation and the sin
The question at the end of the day
Is which one's gonna win
Choose between the spirits
The red words or the gin
Cause it's the bottle or the bible
On the nightstand by the bed

It was a battle 'tween salvation and the sin
An empty box there in the closet
Told us which one's gonna win
He chose between the spirits
The red words and the gin
Now there's an empty bottle on the nightstand
And a bible on the bed
An empty bottle on the nightstand
And that bible left half read
