The Mighty Ten Commandments
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Verse 1
News headlines say that judges
Them what’s lost all common sense
Have trashed the Ten Commandments
‘Church and State’ their lame defense
If I could lean on judges
And courts ruling thataway
While I’d not nix Commandment Six
Ah, bet your boots they’d rue the day
Chorus 1
The Mighty Ten Commandments
Like love and a pickup truck
Life ain’t so sweet without them
Our wellbeing tied to luck
If one wish we was granted
And my name’s called to take part
I’d download the Commandments
Into every human heart
Verse 2
Laws help build peace and order
But oft times laws kick in late
Akin to livestock roaming
Then somebody shuts the gate
Let’s gang up and tell judges
Since Commandments aid all lots
We need more, not less displays
About faith and ‘Thou shall not’s’
Chorus 1
The Mighty Ten Commandments
Like love and a pickup truck
Life ain’t so sweet without them
Our wellbeing tied to luck
If one wish we was granted
And my name’s called to take part
I’d download the Commandments
Into every human heart
Instrumental
Verse 3
Now, who knows mankind’s destiny
Will it be thumbs down or up
Will multitudes a-sinning
Kill the joys of love and trucks
While ain’t nobody polled me
I give major odds we’ll cope
Because the Ten Commandments
Brim with everlasting hope
Chorus 2
The Mighty Ten Commandments
Live-and-let-live cornerstones
Neighbors counting on neighbors
Down home goodness in their bones
When each soul acts with honor
Won’t no evils spoil the day
The Mighty Ten Commandments
Beacons lighting up the way
Chorus 1
The Mighty Ten Commandments
Like love and a pickup truck
Life ain’t so sweet without them
Our wellbeing tied to luck
If one wish we was granted
And my name’s called to take part
I’d download the Commandments
Into every human heart
I’d download the Commandments
Into every human heart
