Preacher gave it to him when he was eight |
| [00:17.02] |
That Sunday morning he got saved in that little church |
| [00:24.75] |
Grandaddy totted it to Bible school |
| [00:28.59] |
I bet back then it looked brand new, not a faded word |
| [00:35.93] |
Now the cover's torn and the leather's worn... on that Old King James |
| [00:44.64] |
He took it with him overseas, England, France and Germany |
| [00:50.86] |
Right there in the middle of hell |
| [00:56.64] |
Said he read it every night, he swore that it'd saved his life |
| [01:02.34] |
His only hope when there was no hope left |
| [01:07.23] |
Was in that Old King James |
| [01:16.84] |
|
| [01:22.92] |
Passed it down to Momma on the day he died |
| [01:27.32] |
Sat there for the longest time just gathering the dust |
| [01:34.00] |
But when life would take a sharp turn every now and then |
| [01:38.81] |
And she would just start missing him, I'd see her pick it up |
| [01:45.83] |
Now the cover's torn and the leather's worn.... on that Old King James |
| [01:54.59] |
You'll find on every other page, yellow lines or tear drop stains |
| [02:00.86] |
Every chapter of that good book |
| [02:05.95] |
Been through cancer, war and crazy kids, all the stupids things I did |
| [02:12.53] |
I may never know the toll I took... on her and that Old King James |
| [02:29.26] |
|
| [02:48.53] |
Yeah I'm the one who's got it now |
| [02:51.35] |
She said read it when you're feeling down and I said Yes Ma'am |
| [02:58.74] |
Now the cover's torn and the leather's worn... on that Old King James. |
