Bible and the Bottle

V1
When He lost his job they had no place to live
His wife left him and took the kids
He’s sleeping in his car backseat is his bed
That old dog, his only friend, one day just up and left
Empties on the floor, good book on the dash
Outside the wind is blowing and he don’t know how long he’ll last

Chorus:
 Caught between the bible and the bottle 
His tears blurred the lines in red
Couldn't  find an answer in the gospel
And the bottle helped him to forget 

V2.
 He prays for his famly and a way to be redeemed
Drained another fifth of whiskey fell to his knees
He clutched the worn out bible hard against his chest 
Looked up at the sky and drew his final breath 
 Couldn’t face the pain He took it to his grave
Guess there’s more than one way to be saved

Chorus:

Bridge:
 He was buried on a winter’s day
And some folks say 
There’s an old dog that sits and waits 
Where his body lays

Chorus:

Caught between the bible and the bottle 
His tears blurred the lines in red
Never found an answer in the gospel
And the bottle saw him to the end 
Yeah, the bottle saw him to the end
