Guns & Bibles

Lena Shammas Reeves & Eddie Reeves

Mama lived by the Bible

Taught me how to pray

Daddy stood by the gun

He knew no other way

They were strong but different

As darkness from day

Mama preached forgiveness

Daddy taught tough

I learned two ways of dealing

When the going gets rough

I’d either damn it all to hell

Or drown it with love

I’ve been a fool for you baby

Laid my heart out on the line

I’ve been a fool for you baby

I’ve been your fool too many times

Don’t feel good to be standing

Outside this motel

The thought of me forgivin’

Ain’t working all that well

Hard to think of heaven

Livin’ in this hell

It’s time for restitution

To right the wrong you’ve done

Here comes a little payback

Proverbs 12:21

Straight from mama’s Bible

Out the barrel of daddy’s gun

I’ve been a fool for you baby

Laid my heart out on the line

I’ve been a fool for you baby

But I’m not your fool this time

I’ve been a fool for you baby

Laid my heart out on the line

I’ve been a fool for you baby

But I’m not your fool
