Steve Earle - A Bible And A Gun lyrics

There's a full moon out tonight And it's shining down on me And in that purest light The slaves are still not free So Missouri's bound in sorrow And her woods are draped with pain And when the sun comes up tomorrow I'll be on the move again Now i hear a whisper soft and low Through every mile i run As i travel through this world of woe With a bible and a gun If a man was made to suffer I'm a mighty man i know And I cannot shake the anger That keeps me on this road And they came with bugles soundin' And righteousness decreed And they left me with this vengeance To forever feel To turn the other cheek It's the braver thing to do I wish I had it in me They wish they had it too For tomorrow when we meet This story will end And an acient, hollow grief Will be our only friend
