1
Preacher gave it to him when he was eight,
2
That Sunday morning he got saved in that little church
3
Gran-daddy totted it to Bible school
4
I bet back then it looked brand new,
5
not a faded word, now the cover's torn
6
and the leather's worn on that Old King James
7
He took it with him overseas
8
England, France and Germany
9
Right there in the middle of hell
10
Said he read it every night
11
He swore that it saved his life
12
His only hope when there was no hope left
13
Was in that Old King James
14
Passed it down to Momma on the day he died
15
Sat there for the longest time just gathering the dust
16
But when life would take a sharp turn every now and then
17
And she would just start missing him, I'd see her pick it up
18
Now the cover's torn
19
and the leather's worn on that Old King James
20
You'll find on every other page
21
Yellow lines or tear drop stains
22
Every chapter of that good book
23
Been through cancer, war and crazy kids
24
All the stupids things I did
25
I may never know the toll I took on her
26
And that Old King James
27
Yeah I'm the one who's got it now
28
She said read it when you're feeling down
29
And I said, "Yes Ma'am"
30
Now the cover's torn
31
And the leather's worn on that Old King James
