[Instrumental Intro]
At the bottom of my dresser drawer, forgot and put away
There laid momma’s bible that she gave me on my birthday
The cover of that old good book, was showin all it’s age
And just like me my covers worn, I’ve seen my better days
When I was still a young boy, I seen trouble comin on
I had a chip up on my shoulder, still knew right from wrong
I fought my way through high school and I might have lost my way
Oh yes I’ve done a lot of foolish things, I still found time to pray
It’s the cover not the pages that you see here tonight
A man that’s worn and tattered has a soul that’s filled with light
And I know I’m a sinner but there’s a saint inside of me
Yes I’m the pages not the cover, if you could look inside you’d see
[Instrumental Break]
Now it’s ten years later and I’ve learned a thing or two
I try to keep my distance from those things a troubled man will do
And I ask for forgivness every day from up above
I still tryin not to hate, I’m still learning how to love
It’s the cover not the pages that you see here tonight
A man that’s worn and tattered has a soul that’s filled with light
And I know I’m a sinner but there’s a saint inside of me
Yes I’m the pages not the cover, if you could look inside you’d see
Well I’m the pages not the cover, if you could look inside you’d see
Yes I’m the pages not the cover, if you could look inside you’d see
