Travis Tritt - Bible Belt lyrics
[Travis Tritt - Bible Belt lyrics]
Well, he was the assistant preacher
And a 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 than the fires of Hell
She had plans to seduce him
And she knew 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 the 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 law from the Bible Belt
There's a lot of good people who were led
Astray that believe what the Good Book said
Well, I'll tell you 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 will burn 'til your soul will melt
And it'll spread like a cancer
'cause you're gonna have
To answer to the Lord in 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
I just can't 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 in the Bible Belt
There's a lot of good people who were led
Astray that believe what the Good Book said
Well, I'll tell you 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 will burn 'til your soul will melt
And it'll spread like a cancer
'cause you're gonna have
To answer to the Lord in the Bible Belt
They better get their heads together
Or they're gonna slap
Leather with the Lord in the Bible Belt
Amen, brother
And a Sunday School
