[Intro]
E
[Verse]
E
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
Had a body that was made for sin
E
She didn,t care that he was married Cause the torch that she carried
A
Was hotter then the fires of hell
E
She had plans to suduce him
A B
If she could she would loosen
E
A notch in the bible belt
E
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
If you could help me it would sure be nice
E
They met a few minutes after, In the office of the pastor
A
And she started telling how she felt
E
What a chance they were takin'
A
When they first started breakin'
B E
The laws of the bible belt
[Chorus]
A
There's a lot of good people
Who are led astray
E
That believe what the good book said
A
Well I'll tall ya something brother
When you're dealin' with the devil
F# B
It's tough to keep a level head
E
It's hard to imagine How the flames of passion
A
Can burn till your soul will melt
E
And it'll spread like a cancer
A
But you're gonna have to answer
B E
To the lord and the bible belt
[Instrumental]
E A E A F# B
E A E A B E
[Verse]
E
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
Alone with two preschool kids
E
I don't know how there doin'
But I know that they're screwin' up
A
A good thing they once had
E
They better get their heads together
A
Or they're gonna slap leather
B E
With the lord and the bible belt
[Chorus]
E
They better get their heads together
A
Or they're gonna slap leather
B E
With the lord and the bible belt
