Bible On The Dash - Acoustic Version

A two night stand in Tulsa, pullin' out and headed west
Tuna grabbed the Gideon's from the hotel in the desk
And we said, "What's the matter, brother, are you worried about 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

Well, we pulled the whole rig over for the flashin' reds and blues
Police come to the window, and we said, "Have you heard the news?"
He said, "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 out of there and beat you black and blue"
I placed my hand upon the good book and said, "What would Jesus do?"

It's better than insurance, registration or lyin'
It's better than these fake IDs I keep on buyin'
It's even better than an envelope stuffed with cash
But they always said it'd save me, that old bible on the dash

Well, 'round these parts that hair alone will make probable cause
If you're movin' through my county, you'll obey my earthly laws
We did our best to quote some holy writ, chapter and verse
What kind of music you boys make? And we said, "Christian music, sir"
Well, he thought about it, he contemplated, twitched his cop moustache
"Alright y'all, be careful now, just don't drive quite so fast"

It's better than insurance, registration or lyin'
It's better than these fake IDs I keep on buyin'
It's even better than an envelope stuffed with cash
But they always said it'd save me, that old bible on the dash

Wish crossin' at the border a few months later, we heard, "Freeze!"
Pull in over there, son, we're gonna do some search and seize
Or maybe if we'd been more famous, he'd have said just move along
Or if he'd have seen us on the TV, if we'd had hit single songs
Well, he's just about to ask us, "Where's the money, guns and hash?"
Well, I was prayin' 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 keepin' a pretty close eye on his sheep
We got a list that we're can look at to see if we can't find your names
We got a pair of parabolic laser beams, hears everything you say
We got ultraviolet infra-red, can see right through your bus
Yes sir, well, I thought the good Lord kept an eye on all of us

It's better than a green card, it's better than lyin'
And it's better than these work visas I keep on buyin'
It's even better than an envelope stuffed with cash
Lord, I'm at the border with the bible on the dash
