Lyrics & Chords
Full Song
Verse 1
G C
Lord I’ve been feelin’
Em D
Like the world has got me down
G C
Dusty bibles on the shelf
Em D
That no one passed around
Chorus
C
Lord I’ve been runnin’
G
From the things I’ve done
Em D
These dusty bibles won’t save everyone
C
But mama says a prayer
G
Every single day
Em D
Maybe one of these mornings
G
The good Lord’ll hear what she says
Verse 2
G C
I grew up in a small town
Em D
Where the churches all have steeples
G C
Where the good Lord loves you
Em D
Even when you’re broken people
