Bible by the Bed lyrics
It's ten after two A.M. he's
stumblin' 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.
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'll change him, for three years come this June.
And she still has faith, but lately he scares her to death.
So she always keeps a gun under the pillow and a bible by the bed.
Next day he brings flowers home and swears that it won't happen again.
She tells herself that she should leave, but she turns the other cheek like Jesus did (forgives him).
By Friday there's new bruises, they're on her face.
They say lovin' him's gonna kill her someday.
She ain't seen the man she married, since the day they said "I do".
She's been praying God'll change him, for three years come this June.
And she still has faith, but lately he scares her to death.
So she always keeps a gun under the pillow and a bible by the bed.
It was only two days till their anniversary when a shot rang through the night.
They found her face down on the floor, prayin' by his side.
Sayin' Father forgive me as she gripped that gun.
He said "My dear child, what wrong have you done"?

This song brings memories back from my first marriage. A week after being married, my spouse, at that time, took after me with a gun and a knife. Didn't take long when I knew this wasn't for me; unfortunately a child came into the picture.
I've been remarried for 35 yrs; it's something a person never forgets.
Thanks.
