Verse:
E
Two night stand in Tulsa
E

Pullin' out and headed west
E
Brett he grabbed the Gideon's
E
From the hotel in the desk
            A7
And we said what's the matter brother
        A7
Are you worried about your soul
        E
He said better safe than sorry boys
E
That's just how I roll
   B7
We hit the road a feeling cool
B7
As Crosby Stills and Nash
    E
Overflowing with the spirit
        B7           E
And the bible on the dash

Verse:
E
We Pulled the whole thing over
E
For the flashin' reds and blues
E
Police came to the window we said
E
Have you heard the news
     A7
Now don't get smart with me boy
A7
Why you doing ninety-five
                E
My foot is heavy with redemption
E
I'm just blessed to be alive
          B7
He said I oughta pull you outta there
    B7
And beat you black and blue
                E
I placed my hand upon the good book
         B7               E
And said what would Jesus do

CHORUS:
     A7
It's better than insurance
A7
Registration or lying
        E
It's better than these fake IDs

I have to keep buying
     A7
It's even better than an envelope

Stuffed with cash
     B7
They always said it'd save me
B7                         E
That old bible on the dash

Verse:
E
Around these parts a hair alone
E
Will make probable cause
E
If you're moving through my county
E
You'll obey my earthly laws
       A7
Yes we did our best to quote
A7
Some holy writ chapter and verse
           E
What kinda music you boys making
        E
We said Christian music sir
B7
He thought about it
B7
Contemplated
B7
Twirled his cop mustache
N/C
Alright you boys be careful now
N/C
Just don't drive quite so fast

CHORUS:
     A7
It's better than insurance
A7
Registration or lying
        E
It's better than these fake IDs

I keep on buying
     A7
It's even better than an envelope

Stuffed with cash
     B7
They always said it'd save me
B7                         E
That old bible on the dash

Verse:
E
Crossin' at the border
E
A few months later we heard freeze
E
Pull in over there son
E
We're gonna do some search and seize
      A7
Maybe if we'd been more famous
A7
He'd a said just move along
E
If he's a seen us on the TV
E
If we had hit single songs
          B7
Well he's just about to ask us
B7
Were's the money guns and hash
      E
I was hoping it'd save me
         B7           E
That old bible on the dash

Verse:
E
His hand was on his pistol
E
And his dog was on his leash
E
And that shepherd he was a keeping
E
A pretty close eye on his sheep
         A7
We got a list we gonna look at
A7
See if we can't find your names
       E
We got parabolic laser beams
E
Hears everything you say
       B7
We got ultravoilet x-rays
         B7
That can see right through your bus
  N/C
I guess we'll see if the good Lord's
N/C
Truly watching over us

CHORUS:
     A7
It's better than a green card
A7
It's better than lying
        E
It's better than these work visas

I keep on buying
     A7
Even better than an envelope

Stuffed with cash
     B7
Lord I'm at the border
B7                         E
With the bible on the dash
