Lyrics

Little Black Book
By Brent Wilson

He sat in the corner of the bar
Talkin? to the girl
Who wouldn?t even give me a second look
She got up to say goodbye
From the corner of my eye
I saw him writing in his little black book
I said ?Buddy any chance that you could share
Some of the secrets that you have in there?

CHORUS
He said ?That?s Jenny
She?s got two kids
And the doctors say could be any day
Up to three months to live
So I told her about Romans 8
And John 3:16
To keep up the fight
And memorize Phillipians 4:13
There?s no secret
Feel free to take a look
In my little black book


I didn?t come here for a sermon
Just some quiet and a beer
So take your Bible and get on out of here
He said ?Son I see you?re new here
But you?d find out in time
These people are my family
Since the bottle cost me mine

CHORUS
They?ve watched me walk those 12 steps
Over and over
And everyday I celebrate
One more day sober
I believe in Romans 8
And John 3:16
I keep up the fight
I?ve memorized Phillipians 4:13
For a little hope
Each day I take a look
In my little black book

BRIDGE
That barstool prophet taught me more
Than any church ever had before
Now my whole life is living proof
You don?t know when or where
You?ll meet up with the Truth

CHORUS
Now I believe in Romans 8
And John 3:16
I keep up the fight
I?ve memorized Phillipians 4:13
I tell everyone I know
To take a look
In my little black book
In that little black book
