1
Preacher gave it to him when he was 8
2
That sunday morning he got saved in that little church
3
Granddaddy toted it to bible school
4
I bet back then it looked brand new, not a faded word
5
Now the cover's torn, and the leather's worn
6
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
He passed it down to mama on the day he died
15
Sat there for the longest time
16
Just gathering the dust
17
But when life would take a sharp turn every now and then
18
And she would just start missing him,
19
I'd see her pick it up
20
Now the cover's torn, and the leather's worn
21
On that old king james
22
You'll find on every other page yellow lines or tear drop stains
23
Every chapter of that good book
24
Been through cancer war, and crazy kids
25
All the stupid things I did
26
I may never know the toll I took
27
On her and that old king james
28
Yeah I'm the one who's got it now
29
She said read it when you're feeling down
30
And I said yes ma'am
31
Now the cover's torn and the leather's worn
32
On that old king james
