Biography:
Joey
As one-half of the husband/wife country music duo Joey+Rory, featured on the new CMT/American Idol tv show "Can You Duet", Joey has a voice that is reminiscent of a modern-day Emmylou Harris and a style that’s been compared to a female George Strait. Different than most cosmopolitan, high-fashion female country artists out today, Joey’s not just a country singer, she is country. She sings that way, dresses that way and lives it every day of her life.

(Capo on 1)
Intro.: |(C) |(C) |(F) |(F) | x 2
C F
They were both made of leather, both black and frayed and worn
C G
I was brought up to respect them since the day that I was born
C F
One came here from England, it's been handed down for years
Am G F C
The other one was ordered from a catalogue at Sears
C F
One my mama read to me that I was well into my teens
C G
And I thought all the other one was for was to hold up daddy's jeans
C F
Till I told a lie and learned, it had another purpose too
Am G F C
One behind the shed, my daddy said, "This will hurt me more than you"
(Chorus)
F C
'Cause one had my daddy's name on it, the other said King James
G F G C
With love they taught us lessons, but we feared them both the same
F C F
One led us to heaven and the other left a welt
Am G F G C C F F
But those were the days when kids were raised with a bible and a belt
C F
I remember when I was twelve, I stole a dime store comic book
C G
And how mama read what the scripture said to take back what I took
C F
When I refused, my daddy grabbed my arm and said "Come on"
Am G F C
I needed more, he knew than just Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
C F
Well, sometimes they made me cry, sometimes they made me fightin' mad
C G
And I'd wish I'd been raised without them like some other children had
C F
But now I'm grown with kids of my own and I know just how they felt
Am G F C
You know, it seems to me what the world still needs is a bible and a belt
(Chorus)
G C
'Cause one had my daddy's name on it, the other said King James
G F G C
With love they taught us lessons, we feared them both the same
F C F
One led us to heaven and the other hurt like hell
Am G F G
Those were the days when kids were raised with a bible and a belt
