Bourbon, Bluegrass, and the Bible Lyrics by The Hillbilly Thomists

Living for the Other Side

0

[Verse 1]
Lived through time, passed through fire
Broke my heart, wounded desire
Changed my life, fixed the past
Stared at death, and it stared back
Standing fast in the light of the Word
A shotgun blast was the last thing I heard
I rattled in the wind like a windowpane
The soul's alright but my body complains
[Chorus]
Death's in the world and it's gone viral
Everybody's talking 'bout a new revival
When it's a question of love and survival
Bourbon, bluegrass and the Bible
[Verse 2]
Sleep like a giant, watch the rain
Bust to your force and feel no pain
There's music at night, music in the day
You live your life without getting paid
You're a child of the storm, a child of the Lord
You live your life without getting bored
You lose your mind but you find it again
Talking 'bout grace and talking 'bout sin
[Chorus]
Death's in the world and it's gone viral
Everybody's talking 'bout a new revival
When it's a question of love and survival
Bourbon, bluegrass and the Bible
[Verse 3]
Preacher don't lie, there's whiskey in the still
A fox in the rain done had his fill
Chicken in the bread pan picking out dough
Play that song wherever I go
People on the left, people on the right
They don't need beer to get into a fight
Everybody's out in their disguise
The light in the morning just hurts my eyes
[Chorus]
Death's in the world and it's gone viral
Everybody's talking 'bout a new revival
When it's a question of love and survival
Bourbon, bluegrass and the Bible
[Verse 4]
Fire in the hole, steer in the woods
When the Lord hit me, hit me pretty good
Sit up straight and clean your face
We done gotta get out of this place
Uncle Penn is loading his gun
You start to walk, I'll start to run
Lifting my thumb by the side of the road
I take my banjo wherever I go
[Chorus]
Death's in the world and it's gone viral
Everybody's talking 'bout a new revival
When it's a question of love and survival
Bourbon, bluegrass and the Bible
[Verse 5]
Baptized at a hundred and five
Not a life well lived, but a life well died
At the funeral we all sang, Mama tried
Half of us laughed and half of us cried
Redneck town, two dogs in a sack
You burn it all down and it all grows back
Stars in the night, their light don't lie
I'll see you up there when they fall from the sky
[Chorus]
Death's in the world and it's gone viral
Everybody's talking 'bout a new revival
When it's a question of love and survival
Bourbon, bluegrass and the Bible
