A two night stand in Tulsa, pulling 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 feeling cool as Crosby, Stills and Nash
Overflowing with the spirit and the bible on the dash
ย
We pulled the whole thing over for the flashing 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 doing 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?"
ย
It's better than insurance, registration or lying
It's better than these fake IDs I keep on buying
It's even better than an envelope, stuffed with cash
They always said it'd save me, that old bible on the dash
ย
"Around these parts that hair alone will make probable cause
When you're moving through my county, you'll obey my earthly laws"
Well, we did our best to quote some holy writ, chapter and verse
"What kind of music you boys make?", we said "Christian music, sir"
He thought about it, contemplated, twirled his cop moustache
"Alright y'all be careful now, just don't drive quite so fast"
ย
It's better than insurance, registration or lying
It's better than these fake IDs I keep on buying
It's even better than an envelope, stuffed with cash
They always said it'd save me, that old bible on the dash
ย
Crossing 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 praying it'd save me, that old bible on the dash
ย
Well, his hand was on his pistol, and his dog was on his leash
And that shephard, he was keeping 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
We've got parabolic laser beams that hear everything you say
We got ultraviolet x-rays that can see right through your bus"
He said, "Look out man, the good Lord gots his eyes on all of us"
ย
It's better than a green card, it's better than lying
It's better than these work visas I have to keep buying
It's even better than an envelope stuffed with cash
Lord, I'm at the border with the bible on the dash
ย
Hey
Thank you very much
And now we're on a watch list
Say hello to the band once more, would you, the guys in the band?
This is, Kurt Ciesla on the bass, fiddle from Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada
Brady Valgardson back there, toiling away in obscurity on the drums
From Tabor, Alberta, Canada, my hometown as well
On the guitars all night long, Mr. Grant Siemens from Winnipeg, Manitoba
