LYRICS:
A two night stand in Tulsa, pullin' out and headed west
Brady grabbed the Gideon's from the hotel in the desk
We said 'What's the matter, brother, are you worried about your soul?'
He said 'Better safe than sorry, boys, that's just how I roll'
We hit the road feelin' cool as Crosby, Stills and Nash
Overflowin' with the spirit and the bible on the dash
We pulled the whole rig over for the flashin' reds and blues
Police come to the window and we said 'Have you heard the news?'
He said 'Don't get smart with me, boy, why you doin' ninety-five?'
My foot is heavy with redemption, I'm just blessed to be alive
He said 'I oughta pull you out of there and beat you black and blue'
I placed my hand upon the good book and said 'What would Jesus do?'
It's better than insurance, registration or lyin'
It's better than these fake IDs I keep on buyin'
It's even better than an envelope stuffed with cash
They always said it'd save me, that old bible on the dash
He said, 'Round these parts that hair alone will make probable cause
When you're movin' through my county you'll obey my earthly laws'
We did our best to quote some holy writ, chapter and verse
'What kind of music y'alls make? And we said 'Christian music, sir'
He contemplated, thought about it, twitched his cop moustache
'Alright you boys be careful now, just don't drive quite so fast'
Crossin' at the border a few months later we heard 'Freeze!
Pull in over there, son, we're gonna do some search and seize'
Maybe if we'd been more famous, he'd have said 'Just move along'
If he'd have seen us on the TV, or if we'd had hit single songs
He's just about to ask us 'Where's the money, guns and hash?'
I was prayin' it'd save me, that old bible on the dash
His hand was on his pistol and his dog was on his leash
That shephard, he was keepin' a pretty close eye on his sheep
'We got a list we're gonna look at to see if we can't find your names
Got us some parabolic laser beams that hear everything you say
We got ultraviolet x-rays that can see right through your bus'
Yes sir, well I hope the good Lord keeps an eye on all of us, uh-huh
It's better than a green card, it's better than lyin'
It's better than these work visas I have to keep buyin'
It's even better than an envelope stuffed with cash
Lord, I'm at the border with the bible on the dash

“I’ve got a bible on the dash” sounds like a really good expression. Like, if you have a good excuse, or a trump card, you say you got a bible on the dash.

It’s got that ole timey sound most people don’t give a fuck bout that now days but I love it funny lyrics 2 sharing it with anyone I know

[@lIlIlIlI-gs2qx]

because big brother disliked it

[@The_dude94]

Because like the lyrics say "maybe if we had hit single songs!" They're hits to us but the masses are too preoccupied with top 40 radio instead of actually searching for these hidden gems!

[@7JANEWAY]

Easy--because it's about the Bible, that's why! Unfortunately, the Bible is NOT a big draw--quite the contrary. That says a lot about our country these days, doesn't it???

[@Mark8395217]

Wouldn’t surprise me if the whole song, video, everything, was drummed up because Hayes found that snazzy sweater!

[@bradmetcalf5333]

SO true lmao. They wrote the song based on that sweater hahaa

[@danielmorris3687]

Corb said in a video blog that his inspiration was a story Townes Van Zandt used to tell about being pulled over by a Texas cop and telling him he was rushing to get to a Billy Graham revival to avoid being busted. Lol

"And that Sheppard was a keepin a pretty close eye on his sheep" Badass song!

[@lordaridan1523]

This song is so true my father drove across the US New York to California out West north to south with his black bible and gold lettering on the cover sitting on his dash and in his 80 yrs of driving any time he got pulled over for speeding or other traffic infractions officer see the Bible give him a verbal warning off he go.

[@johnfranklin6227]

Heard a portion of it for the first time, when part of it was played on "Car Talk" on NPR and I hunted it down, I listened to it over and over. LOVE IT. The video made the song more impressive. And I now enjoy both Corb Lund and Hayes Carll's other songs. Loads of talent from these two.

[@brencunningham6089]

Saw Corb live in a small town in Sask when I was pipelining back in 2012ish. Not a huge fan of the genre, but I'll always have a soft spot for him and his. Love everything these boys put out. Came here for some good feels in this shit year of 2020. Love ya Corb. You're a good man.

[@TinCanTunes]

Corb totally opened my ears to more country…after all a punker can’t ignore The Smalls

[@larsedik]

I'm not a fan of country music generally, but this song appears to be a crossover, sort of in the way Patsy Cline appealed to more than just a country audience. I do love this song.

[@Jethromcsheepherder]

This country song just rocks! Rockabilly lives!

[@leew9291]

I dig the Steel Panther CD beside the bible on the dash, nice touch guys!

[@cinger6229]

Lee W Great eye for detail! The cover band that plays the music I grew up loving and still do, but I grew up and recognize genius when I see it/hear it. Hayes is a genius writer. Corb is smart to hang with him. Genius song; entertaining video and, most importantly, it makes people think.

[@jameschaykowski5742]

my wife and I met corb in saskatoon at the last show he did when he had his other band the smalls, he hung out at the bar chatting with us before the show and I have to say he is one of the nicest people you'd ever hope to meet and that was the best concert we have ever been to, although the smalls are no more and the new music is quite different we still to this day enjoy corbs musical genious and always will

Matt Cook Aaron was making a joke. The character in the song used the Bible as a scapegoat to get out of trouble, so the joke is "it looks well used" because the character uses it so much for escaping trouble.
