[Verse 1]
I keep a Bible on the dash
Beside a glassy little throne
Mama says son that’s a strange old mix
For a backwoods two-room home
I read Psalm twenty-three
Then I stare at that green-tinted glass
One hand on grace, one hand on a habit
Tryna make the whole thing last
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain’t proud of every night
I just know what got me through
When the county road got dark
I had two things I ran to
[Chorus]
A Bible and a bong
A prayer and a spark
One pulled me to heaven
One kept me in the dark
A Bible and a bong
Lord, I’m somewhere in between
I’m tryin' to wash my hands
While I’m chasin' both my dreams
A Bible and a bong
A Bible and a bong
[Verse 2]
Pastor’s voice still lives in me
So does that old smoky room
Granddad kept his warnings close
And I kept my own into June
I’ve seen a tear hit a red clay floor
And I’ve seen a laugh come back
Some nights I chose the easy road
Some nights I chose the black
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain’t holy, I ain’t lost
I’m just honest when I’m low
There’s a line I keep on crossin’
And a line I hope I know
[Chorus]
A Bible and a bong
A prayer and a spark
One pulled me to heaven
One kept me in the dark
A Bible and a bong
Lord, I’m somewhere in between
I’m tryin' to wash my hands
While I’m chasin' both my dreams
A Bible and a bong
A Bible and a bong
[Bridge]
Maybe one day I’ll lay one down
And keep the other in my heart
Trade that haze for a sunrise
Trade that split life for a start
[Final Chorus]
A Bible and a bong
A prayer and a spark
One pulled me to heaven
One kept me in the dark
A Bible and a bong
Lord, I’m somewhere in between
I’m tryin' to wash my hands
While I’m chasin' both my dreams
A Bible and a bong
A Bible and a bong
