Bible Belt Feat Little Feat lyrics

(Travis Tritt)

Well, he was the assistant preacher
And the Sunday school teacher
In the church that I grew up in
She was looker from Atlanta,
Led the choir, played piano
Had a body that was made for sin.

She didn`t care that he was married,
`Cause the torch that she carried
Was hotter than the fires of hell
She had plans to seduce him,
If she could, she could 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 somethin` 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 you 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.

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 pre-school kids.

I don`t know how they`re 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 somethin` 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 you 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...
