Lyrics

Chapter and Verse
By Ted Horrell

Troubled times, worried mind
Going down, about to drown
I call to you for a line, you’re well rehearsed
You bring me chapter and verse

I’m overwhelmed, no one’s at the helm
Headed full bore to the rocky shore
You’re there to remind, it’s what I deserve
Citing chapter and verse

Chapter and verse, chapter and verse
In my time of need, you lay down the law
Chapter and verse, chapter and verse
You can always tell me where I went so wrong

My time will come, the end of my run
They’ll drive me to town, put me in the ground
I have no doubt you’ll be there in the hearse
Quoting chapter and verse

Chapter and verse, chapter and verse
In my time of need, you lay down the law
Chapter and verse, chapter and verse
You can always tell me where I went so wrong

Until that time, I’ll pay you no mind
Carry my own load, on down the road
I don’t need, your angry screed
Your chapter and verse
