[Intro] x2
C C F F
C F
They were both made of leather, both black and frayed and worn
C G
I was brought up to respect them since the day that I was born.
C F
One came here from England, it's been handed down for years|,
Am G F C
The other one was ordered from a catalogue at Sears.
C F
One my mama read to me that I was well into my teens
C G
And I thought all the other one was for was to hold up daddy's jeans
C F
Till I told a lie and learned it had an- other purpose too
Am G F C
And be- hind the shed, my daddy said, this will hurt me more than you.
[Chorus]
F C
'Cause one had my daddy's name on it, the other said King James
G F G C
With love they taught us lessons, but we feared them both the same
F C F
One led us to heaven and the other left a welt
Am G F G C C F F
But those were the days when kids were raised with a bible and a belt
C F
I re- member when I was twelve, I stole a dime store comic book
C G
And how mama read what the scr i pture said to take back what I took
C F
When I refused, my daddy grabbed my arm and said "Come on"
Am G F C
I needed more, he knew than just Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
C F
Well, some- times they made me cry, sometimes they made me fightin' mad
C G
I wish I've been raised without them like some other children had
C F
But now I'm grown with kids of my own and I know just how they felt
Am G F C
You know, it seems to me what the world still needs is a bible and a belt
[Chorus]
F C
'Cause one had my daddy's name on it, the other said King James
G F G C
With love they taught us lessons, we feared them both the same
F C F
One led us to heaven and the other hurt like hell
Am G F G
Those were the days when kids were raised with a bible and a belt
[Outro]
