[Intro]
E
 
[Verse 1]
E
Well he was the assistant preacher, and the Sunday school teacher
In the church that I grew up in.
E
She was a looker from Atlanta, led the choir played piano
       B                     B7
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
If she could she would loosen
  B7                 E
A notch in the Bible belt
 
[Verse 2]
E
So she called him up at home, when she knew he'd be alone,
Said, "Preacher I could use advice.
E
I got troubles with a man, that I know you'll understand
             B                        B7
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'
    B7                 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 tell ya something brother
When you're dealin' with the devil
      F#                   B7
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
       B7                 E
To the Lord and the Bible belt.

[Verse 3]
E
Someone said they went to Vegas, back home it didn't take us long
To hear the news of what they did.
E
Nobody could believe, that he left his wife to grieve
  B                       B7
A-lone 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
         B7                 E
With the Lord and the Bible belt.
 
[Outro]
             E
They better get their heads together
           A
Or they're gonna slap leather
         B7                 E
With the Lord and the Bible belt.
