Steve Earle A Bible And A Gun (Steve Earle, Jason Ringenberg) There's a full moon out tonight And it's shining down on me And in that purest light Any fool could see That this highway is paved with sorrow And every mile is lined with pain And when the sun comes up tomorrow You'll be just as far away Now I hear her whisper soft and low Through every mile I run As I travel through this world of woe With a Bible and a gun If a man was made to suffer I'm a mighty man I know From one heartache to another I've been burnin' down this road I've got one eye on the mirror And one eye on the line The end keeps growin' nearer The past slips behind I don't mean to hurt nobody I don't mean to do no wrong But somethin' out there's got me And it's pulling me along Darkness is my shelter Emptiness my light And stranger, heaven help you If our paths cross tonight
