(It's The Bible Against The Bottle) The Battle For Daddy's Soul - George Jones

It’s the bible against the bottle

In the battle for daddy’s soul

It’s momma against the party girls

Over who’s gonna win control

On Sunday it’s Rock of Ages

On Monday let the good times roll

It’s the bible against the bottle

In the battle for daddy’s soul

If faith can move a mountain

Moma’s gonna win

But even moma will admit

There’s a whole lot goin' for sin

With sweet red wine and party girls

And the big time songs to sing

Maybe she could tell daddy

That’s really the swingin' thing

Well, I just can’t help believing

Momma’s gonna win

The milk of human kindness

Is a whole lot stronger than gin

With faith in God and daily prayer

And gospel songs to sing

Momma keeps a-showin daddy

God’s love is a precious thing
