Dust on the Bible | Outlaw Country Gospel

A drifter who's carried his mother's Bible for seven years without opening it, until a breakdown outside Amarillo leaves him nothing to do but finally wipe off the dust. Browncoat Sinners - hard roads, dirty hands, still prayin'. 🎵 Lyrics below [Intro] (Dust... on the Bible...) [Verse 1] Mama's Bible on the dashboard Ridin' shotgun since she passed Cover cracked and gold gone dim Spine held on by tape that won't last I ain't opened it in seven years Not since the funeral rain Just let it sit there gatherin' dust Like it might ease the pain [Verse 2] I've robbed a man in Waco Broke a promise in Cheyenne Told myself I'm past forgiveness Too far gone to be God's man Every crossroad I come to I look away instead of in 'Cause that book's got all the answers And I ain't ready to begin [Pre-Chorus] But it rides with me at midnight Every mile, every town Like it's waitin' on the day I finally set it down [Chorus] There's dust on the Bible Dust on my name Dust on every promise I was too proud to claim I keep drivin' past forgiveness Like it's just another mile There's dust on the Bible And it's been dusty a while [Verse 3] Broke down outside Amarillo Nothin' left but empty tank Sat there starin' at that Bible Watched the sun go down and sank Reached over without thinkin' Wiped the dust off with my sleeve First word that I read was "mercy" First time in years I let myself believe [Pre-Chorus] But it rides with me at midnight Every mile, every town Like it's waitin' on the day I finally set it down [Chorus] There's dust on the Bible Dust on my name Dust on every promise I was too proud to claim I keep drivin' past forgiveness Like it's just another mile There's dust on the Bible And it's been dusty a while [Bridge] Momma said the words don't fade Even when the cover does Said the dust was never on the pages It was only ever on us I'm tired of carryin' what I won't read Tired of prayin' just to hide So I opened up to Amos And I let it change my mind [Final Chorus] There's no dust on the Bible No dust on my name Every promise that I buried I'm finally free to claim I stopped drivin' past forgiveness Pulled over for a while There's no dust on the Bible Just fingerprints and a mile [Outro] No dust... just fingerprints 🔔 Subscribe for new dark outlaw country every week. #DarkCountry #OutlawCountry #GothicCountry
