<b>Bible Belt</b> by <i>Tritt Travis</i><br />

Well,he was a New York attorney

That would take a southern journey

Into places that he'd never been

She was a brunette out of Brooklyn

Fast talkin' and good lookin'

With a body that was made for sin

And she wanted him for marriage

Cause the torch that she carried

Was hotter then the fires of hell

But he said he didn't need her

So she followed him down deep

Into the buckle of the Bible belt

She begged and she pleaded

And she told him what she needed

Was a little tender lovin' care

But he was wrapped up in his work

And actin' like a jerk

By pretendin' that she wasn't there

But her heart was love stricken

So she never thought of quittin'

When givin' up on how she felt

She had plans to seduce him

If she could she would loosen

The notch in the Bible belt

There's alot of good people

Who are led astray

That believe true love is dead

But,I'll tell ya somethin' brother

When you're dealin' with your feelings

It's tough to keep a level head

And it's hard to imagine

How the flames of passion

Will burn till your soul will melt

And it'll spread like a cancer

Till you're gonna have to answer

To your heart in the Bible belt

Yeah,yeah,yeah...

Oh...

Whoo...hoo...hoo

Well,no matter who you are

If you're a peasant or a star

There's a need for love in every room

And he found it pretty soon

Underneath the southern moon

When she finally made him understand

And every man's got his pride

And he'll try to run and hide

From emotion that is hard to tell

So he gave her love a chance

That's when he found romance

In the heart of the Bible belt...

Yeah...

There's alot of good people

Who are led astray

That believe true love is dead

But I'll tell ya somethin' brother

When you're dealin' with your feelings

It's tough to keep a level head

And it's hard to imagine

How the flames of passion

Will burn till your soul will melt

And it'll spread like a cancer

But you're gonna have to answer

To your heart in the Bible belt...

They better get their heads together

Or they're gonna slap leather

With their hearts in the Bible belt...

Yeah,Lord

Yeah,yeah

Amen,brother
