My foot is heavy Ewith redemption

He said I B7oughta pull you outta there
And B7beat you black and blue
I placed my hand Eupon the good book
And said B7what would Jesus Edo

[Intro]

B A B7

[Verse]

Two night stand in Tulsa

Pullin' out and headed west

Brett he grabbed the Gideon's

From the hotel in the desk

And 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 a feeling cool

As Crosby Stills and Nash

Overflowing with the spirit

B7 E

And the bible on the dash

[Verse]

We Pulled the whole thing over

For the flashin' reds and blues

Police came to the window we said

Have you heard the news

Now 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 outta there

And beat you black and blue

I placed my hand upon the good book

B7 E

And said what would Jesus do

[Chorus]

It's better than insurance

Registration or lying

It's better than these fake IDs

I have to keep buying

It's even better than an envelope

Stuffed with cash

They always said it'd save me

B7 E

That old bible on the dash

[Verse]

Around these parts a hair alone

Will make probable cause

If you're moving through my county

You'll obey my earthly laws

Yes we did our best to quote

Some holy writ chapter and verse

What kinda music you boys making

We said Christian music sir

He thought about it

Contemplated

Twirled his cop mustache

N.C.

Alright you boys be careful now

N.C.

Just don't drive quite so fast

[Chorus]

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

If we had hit single songs

Well he's just about to ask us
