Story Behind The Song
Right now there are so many questions about gun rights, this is where I stand.
Song Description
Our country was built and protected by guns. Guns are owned by good God fearing people who would only use them to protect those they love. Then there are the outlaws who don't care about anything so I walk this line between my Bible and my gun.

Lyrics
Between A Bible and A Gun
© 2012 Anthony Lynn Powers
Verse 1
Momma taught me the golden rule
while dad made me a man
she's say turn the other cheek
he'd say that's fine when you can
mom was raised reading the bible
daddy was a war veteran's son
She's say nothing worth fighting for
He'd say that won't get it done
I guess I was raised somewhere
Between a bible and a gun
Chorus
I won't give up my bible
And you won't take my gun
I don't go looking for a fight
But I won't turn and run
Some times it takes them both
Just to get things done
That's why I live my life somewhere
Between a bible and a gun
Verse 2
This country's had its share of fighting
To get us where we are today
And I say a prayer every night
For those we've lost along the way
I don't miss church on Sunday
And until the day I am gone
I'll fly old glory above my house
And I will teach my son
How to walk a line somewhere
Between a bible and gun
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
If you turn your cheek enough times
it will spin you back around
you got to fight for what's right
or you'll end up On the ground, that's why
Repeat Chorus
end verse
I was raised somewhere between a bible and a gun
end
