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 BIBLEBy Rachel Cintula and David Snyder

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

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
