GIDEON'S BIBLE
As recorded by Brandon Jenkins on "Live at the Blue Door" (2000)

1. Well I been on this road for such a long time,
And I do my best not to lose my head,
'Cause ev'rywhere I go looks like the last place I've been:
Four walls, a TV, and a bed.

CHORUS: So I just roll a joint on Gideon's Bible,
Have my own Holy Ghost revival,
Talkin' in tongues an' dancin' till the dawn.
This hotel room's just like a shrine.
You got your church an' I got mine.
Say a prayer for me; I got to be movin' on.

2. Now don't get me wrong; I love to travel.
Sometimes I start to feel alone.
But when I do, I've got a sure-fire remedy.
Well, I just reach into that drawer underneath the phone.

And I ... CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

LAST CHORUS: Well, let's all roll a joint on Gideon's Bible,
Have our own Holy Ghost revival,
Talkin' in tongues, dancin' till the dawn.
This hotel room's just like a shrine.
You got your church an' I got mine.
Say a prayer for me; I got to be movin' on.
Say a prayer for me; I got to be movin' on.
Say a prayer for me; I got to be movin' on.
