Beckys Bible


Chris Knight Beckys Bible G C Empty beer bottles rattle on my pistol Em D C On the seat of my Chevy pickup truck G I'm taking these gravel roads C fast as my truck will go Em D C I'm running like a scared white tail buck G C It was an all night card game with Earl Ray and Bobby Em D C And some old boy they work with from Adair G C That boy didn't like me then he said I was cheating Em D C D gunshots rang out on the midnight air Chorus” C D I don't want to see the daylight G C But my Becky's alone tonight C D G I wonder if she's waiting up for me G I’m gonna hide out in the bottoms C Where I hunted deer and turkeys Em D C I know that swamp like the back of my hand G Hell I was born and raised here C Just wanted to be a good old boy Em D C never thought I'd ever be a wanted man G Well soon they're gonna catch me, C Ain't no way around that E D C Cause I don't know any other place to hide G C I wonder if Becky's bible is still in the glove box Em D C D Cause I'm sure gonna need it if that boy dies Chorus G Sometime tomorrow morning C When I ought to be fishing Em D C They'll probably be hauling me in G I'll be sitting in the jail house C no need to be wishing Em D C D That I'll ever get to fish the Green river again C D I'll be praying for some daylight G C While my Becky's alone at night C D G I wonder if she's waiting up for me C D G I wonder if she's waiting up for me
