David and Rachel Radio 3.8.23: BEER AND A BIBLE


Hey Y'all,

It’s that time of the month again. Or is it week?? Hmmmmmmm.

While Rachel is contemplating her next fantasy, we spun this up.

I called her and said: “I have a title. Beer and a Bible.”

“How does it go?”

“I got a beer and a Bible and it’s just about all I need.”

“What else?”

“Hmmm. The first one helps me smile and the second one helps me see. That’s it. I was hoping you would finish it.”

The following result is based on what she sent back ten minutes later.

BEER AND A BIBLE

V1

Jesus spent time in the wilderness
I'm in the woods to hunt and fish
He walked all over the Holy Land
So do I, with a gun in my hand
A tradesman and a carpenter’s son
Both tired when the day is done
He came looking for imperfect men
And I think he found one, but let me tell ya son

CH

I got a beer now and I got a Bible
It's just about all I need
The first one helps smile a bit
And the second one helps me see
And if it was good enough for mama
And Waylon
Then it's good enough for me
Yeah I got a beer and I got a Bible
And it's just about all I need

V2

All roads lead us to forgiveness
Not hate, regret or bitterness
And Jesus doesn't mind this beer in my hand
Or the time that I spend in my tree stand
I got hope when my life is done
I'll be fishing up there with the Son
Because he came to save lost men
Ended up being my best friend

CH

So I got a beer now and I got a Bible
It's just about all I need
The first one helps smile a bit
And the second one helps me see
And if it was good enough for mama
And Stapleton
Then it's good enough for me
Yeah I got a beer and I got a Bible
And it's just about all I need

CH

I got a beer and a Bible
And I got Jesus helping me
I got a beer and a Bible
And it’s just about all I need
I got a beer and a Bible
And Jesus helping me
It's just about all I need
