Bible Song — Sara Evans

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

1St Chorus

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 pilss, 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

Chorus

I ran as fast as I could Through the tall grass and the midnight woods I ran as fast as I could Through the tall grass and the midnight woods Hallelujah Hallelujah - ahh Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah Hallelujah hallelujah Hallelujah
