[Intro]

[Verse 1]
EWell he was the assistant preacher, and the Sunday school teacher
In the church that I grew up in.
EShe was a looker from Atlanta, led the choir played piano
Had a bBody that was made for B7sin.
She didn't Ecare that he was married, cause the torch that she carried
Was hAotter then the fires of hell.
She had Eplans to suduce him
If she cAould she would loosen
A B7notch in the Bible Ebelt
[Verse 2]
ESo she called him up at home, when she knew he'd be alone,
Said, "Preacher I could use advice.
EI got troubles with a man, that I know you'll understand
If you could Bhelp me it would sure be B7nice".
They met a Efew minutes after, in the office of the pastor
And she Astarted telling how she felt.
What a Echance they were takin'
When they fAirst started breakin'
The B7laws of the Bible bEelt.
[Chorus]
There's a lAot of good people who are led astray
That bEelieve what the Good Book said.
Well I'll tAell ya something brother
When you're dealin' with the devil
It's tF#ough to keep a level B7head.
It's hEard to imagine, how the flames of passion
Can bAurn till your soul will melt.
And it'll spEread like a cancer
But yAou're gonna have to answer
To the B7Lord and the Bible Ebelt.
[Instrumental]
E A E A F# B

[Verse 3]
ESomeone said they went to Vegas, back home it didn't take us long
To hear the news of what they did.
ENobody could believe, that he left his wife to grieve
A-Blone with two preschool B7kids.
I don't Eknow how there doin', but I know that they're screwin' up
A gAood thing they once had.
They better Eget their heads together
Or they're Agonna slap leather
With the B7Lord and the Bible Ebelt.
[Outro]
They better gEet their heads together
Or they're Agonna slap leather
With the B7Lord and the Bible Ebelt.

Bible Belt By Travis Tritt

C.D. It's all about to change

Bible Belt

By /TRAVIS TRITT Featuring Little Feat

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

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

B B7

Had a body that was made for sin.

She didn't care that he was married, cause the torch that she carried

Was hotter then the fires of hell.

She had plans to suduce him

If she could she would loosen

B7 E

A notch in the Bible belt

[Verse 2]

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

B B7

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'

B7 E

The laws of the Bible belt.

[Chorus]

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

F# B7

It's tough to keep a level head.

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

B7 E

To the Lord and the Bible belt.

[Instrumental]

E A E A F# B

E A E A B E

[Verse 3]

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

B B7

A-lone 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

B7 E

With the Lord and the Bible belt.

[Outro]

They better get their heads together

Or they're gonna slap leather

B7 E

With the Lord and the Bible belt.
