Bible And A .44 (Live At Allstate Arena, Chicago, IL / April 13, 2017)

[Verse 1: Ashley McBryde]

He had a Southern drawl like a red-bone hound

Every song he sang was my favorite sound

He'd be the last one off if the ship went down

The kind of man it feels good to be around

Kind of man it feels good to be around

[Verse 2: Eric Church]

His hair was white as a cotton field

And he could spin you a yarn like a wagon wheel

He never went nowhere without a rod and reel

Oh, I miss that man and I always will

Yeah, I miss that man and I always will

[Chorus: Ashley McBryde]

He'd see through a lie like an old screen door

He taught me how to hunt and how to love the Lord

He carried a bible and a .44

They just don't make 'em like that no more

[Verse 3: Ashley McBryde]

He said, "Take what you've got and do the best you can

The best thing you'll ever own is a piece of land"

And, y'all, he knew his like the back of his hand

He was something else, my old man

He was something else, my old man

[Chorus: Ashley McBryde]

He'd see through a lie like an old screen door

Taught me how to hunt and how to love the Lord

He carried a bible and a .44

And they just don't make 'em like that no more

[Verse 4: Ashley McBryde]

I saw him strum this thing every chance he could

He left it to me like he said he would

And if you ask me why it sounds so good

It's 'cause I'm holdin' more than strings and wood

I'm holdin' more than strings and wood

[Chorus: Ashley McBryde]

He'd see through a lie like an old screen door

He taught me how to hunt and how to love the Lord

He carried a bible and a .44

And they just don't make 'em like that no more

No, they just don't make 'em like that no more

[Outro: Eric Church]
