Lori Mckenna Bible Song Lyrics

Bible Song Lyrics

No stranger in this town

Nobody moves without making a sound

You live and die within the borders and lines

No one dies without paying their fines



No lovers in this town

The moon's full but it sure ain't round

And just because you lie in his bed

Don't mean he meant the things he said



They marry young in these parts

They work the factories

So, I ran as fast as I could

Through the tall grass and the midnight woods

So, no one would sing some Bible song over me



My cousin died in his sleep

Forty pills, two kids to keep

And how will she explain to those kids

About the sorry thing daddy did



They marry young in these parts

They raise their kids and set them free

So, I ran as fast as I could

Through the tall grass and the midnight woods

So, no one would sing some Bible song over me



They buried him out in the cold

He was only twenty-four years old

How his mother came undone

When the choir sang 'Hallelujah'



So, I ran as fast as I could

Through the tall grass and the midnight woods

And I ran as fast as I could

Through the tall grass and the midnight woods



Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah
