david & floyd - that Bible song.... - 08/05/16 12:54 PM
Act 4.
A David Snyder/floyd jane co-write.
David originally posted this song as "somewhat a joke".
I suggested he take it a bit more seriously and work it as such. Others said the same.
He did a new version (making some changes and adding a bridge).
Someone else lead him to a new direction and he again reworked the song in an alt/rock manner.
I felt that it could have gone "the other direction" - more Country.
So I ask if he would allow me to re-work it (one more time).
Hopefully, y'all won't mind hearing the story one more time..with a new (old) twist (style)...
The BAIB stuff...
RealTracks in song: 366:Bass, Electric, Country Ev 065
RealTracks in song: 836:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm AltCountryRootsy Ev 075 (A:muted)
RealTracks in song: 2542:Pedal Steel, Background ModernBalladAtmosphere Ev16 065
RealDrums in Song: NashvilleEven8^1-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride
I played the acoustic guitars. - a note to the PGMUSIC folks... this style of acoustic (for slow tempos) is not (yet) found in BIAB...
Janice Merritt provided the harmony.
BIBLE ON THE DRESSER
there's a bible on the dresser
beside an empty whiskey jar
i stare out the window
where she used to park her car
she left tire tracks etched
into a dusty country road
and tucked inside her bible
a handwritten note
read this bible
startin' on page one
don't come looking for me
we're done
you need it more than i do
caught in some devil's spell
read this book, do what it says
you might not go to hell
i set down that whiskey glass
picked up my phone
daddy answered "what you want?
your mama isn't home."
but mama got on the line
asked me what i'd done
said if i was you i'd read that note again
and memorize it son
read that bible
startin' on page one
don't go looking for her
let her go, that's done
you need it more than she does
to break that devil's spell
read that book, do what it says
crawl out of your hell
yeah i know that my hell raisin'
led me into sin
i pray i'll be forgiven
and i'll see that girl again
there's a bible on dresser
beside an empty whiskey jar
so now all that i got left
of what was written on her heart
are tire tracks forever
etched into a dusty road
and tucked inside her bible
all i need to know
