Travis Tritt - Bible Belt lyrics

Well, he was the assistant preacher

And the Sunday school teacher

In the church that I grew up in

She was a looker from Atlanta

Led the choir, played piano

Had a body that was made for sin

She didn't care he was married

Cause the torch that she carried

Was hotter then the fires of hell

She had plans to seduce him

If she could she would loosen

A notch in the Bible belt

So she called him up at home

When she knew he'd be alone

Said preacher I could use advice

I got troubles with a man

That I know you'll understand

If you could help me it would sure be nice

They met a few minutes after

In the office of the pastor

And she started telling how she felt

What a chance they were takin'

When they first started breakin'

The laws of the Bible belt

There's a lot of good people

Who are led astray

That believe what the good book said

Well, I'll tell ya something brother

When you're dealin' with the devil

It's tough to keep a level head

And it's hard to imagine

How the flames of passion

Can burn till your soul will melt

And it'll spread like a cancer

But you're gonna have to answer

To the Lord and the Bible belt

Yeah, yeah...

Yeah

Someone said they went to Vegas

Back home it didn't take us long

To hear the news of what they did

Nobody could believe

That he left his wife to grieve

Alone with two preschool kids

I don't know how there doin'

But I know that they're screwin' up

A good thing they once had

They better get their heads together

Or they're gonna slap leather

With the Lord and the Bible belt...

Oh...

There's a lot of good people

Who are led astray

That believe what the good book said

Well, I'll tell ya something brother

When you're dealin' with the devil

It's tough to keep a level head

And it's hard to imagine

How the flames of passion

Can burn till your soul will melt

And it'll spread like a cancer

But you're gonna have to answer

To the Lord and the Bible belt

They better get their heads together

Or they're gonna slap leather

With the Lord and the Bible belt...

Yeah, Lord

Yeah, yeah...

Amen, brother
