Back of a Bible

Wrote you a love song on the back of a Bible On the back of a Bible, a love song for you And I ain't no authority about what it says in it I can't even begin it Page in the back is blank and waiting for you Heard me a sad song on the way to a wedding On the way to a wedding on the car radio And I can't remember words to the verses But I remember the chorus And I can't remember who was marrying who But I'm writing this love song for you And I hate this motel room, they all smell the same View of the parking lot etched in my brain Stuck in this town and you're so far away I ain't got no paper, I just got this pen Rip out the back page and write you a hymn Singing it to you again and again and again Wrote you a love song on the back of a Bible On the back of a Bible for you Ain't no authority about what it says in it I can't even begin it but I'm writing for you --- Back of a Bible - Patterson Hood
