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]
