Cadillac Sky - Bible by the Bed lyrics

It's ten after 2AM he's stumbling in Drunk again tonight By the way he slams the door She knows she's in for a fight She raises her hands up to guard her face And tries to remember those vows she made She ain't seen the man she married Since the day they said 'I do' She's been praying God will change him For 3 years come this June And she still has faith, but lately he scares her to d**h So she always keeps a gun under the pillow And a Bible by the bed The next day he brings flowers home And swears it won't happen again She tells herself that she should leave But she turns the other cheek like Jesus did And forgives him By Friday there's new bruises there on her face They say lovin' him is going to k** her someday She ain't seen the man she married Since the day they said 'I do' She's been praying God will change him For 3 years come this June And she still has faith, but lately he scares her to d**h So she always keeps a gun under the pillow And a Bible by the bed It was only two day 'til their anniversary When a shot rang through the night They found her face down on the floor Praying by his side Saying 'Father, forgive me' as she gripped that gun He said my dear child, 'what wrong have you done?'
