Honestly I think he says a Bible and a Gun because he was searching for God in this sad world we live in today, and this is a dangerous world...therefore he went looking for God with his Bible and a gun to protect himself.
The first time I heard this song was after Cash passed away, and I really don't know any other songs by him, but This song and Ring of Fire, are quickly getting me hooked on his music....anway...since the first time I heard it was a few weeks ago, and since Walk the Line just came out, Though I haven't seen it, when I heard the line:
Now Jesus, don't you wait up
Jesus, I'll be home soon :
I almost cried....I don't even know anythign about Johnny Cash and that made me sad to hear him sing that.
