In my book|You can't trust a man who won't raise a can|Of cold beer with you at a dive bar now and then |In my book|You don't give your word if it ain't your word |And you don't turn your back on a friend |that needs a friend|Chorus:|In my book|Gotta break your back |to make your cash |And take off your hat when |They're singing to the stars and stripes |In my book|When the workweek's through|Strap on your boots|Cut a little loose and If you do man you're alright|In my book||In my book|That passenger door on my 4x4|Gets opened before and that pretty girl climbs inside |In my book|You watch your mouth when she's around|And lay your money down when she gets down to that last sip of wine||Repeat Chorus||In my book|You lean on faith|That every page of that old king James is the only way to the light ||Repeat Chorus
