Whiskey or the Bible, shot glass or a revival

Till you pass the city limit sign that's the only time it all gets clear 
                               Em 
It's crystal clear that I just need to find 
                      G                                  D 
A place where this is no lines nothin' like it is around here 
A                  Bm                   G                     D
