Bible Belt lyrics

(Travis Tritt)

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
