She was looker from Atlanta, led the choir, played piano
She had plans to seduce him, if she could, she could loosen
A notch in the Bible Belt
So, she called him up at home when she knew he'd be alone
There's a lot of good people who are led astray
If you could help me it would sure be nice"
With the Lord and the Bible belt
To the Lord and the Bible Belt
Had a body that was made for sin
Well, I'll tell you somethin' brother when you're dealin' with the devil
Can burn you till your soul will melt
It's tough to keep a level ahead
Was hotter than the fires of Hell
To hear the news of what they did
She didn't care that he was married, 'cause the torch that she carried
And it's hard to imagine how the flames of passion
Someone said they went to Vegas, back home it didn't take us long
Nobody could believe that he left his wife to grieve
That believe what the good book said
A good thing they once had
Said, "Preacher I could use advice
Alone with two pre-school kids
I got troubles with a man that I know you'll understand
And it'll spread like a cancer but you're gonna have to answer
What a chance they were takin' when they first started breakin'
They met a few minutes after in the office of the pastor
They better get their heads together or they're gonna slap leather
The laws of the Bible Belt
I don't know how they're doin' but I know that they're screwin' up
To the Lord and the Bible Belt
It's tough to keep a level ahead
Well, I'll tell you somethin' brother when you're dealin' with the devil
And it'll spread like a cancer but you're gonna have to answer
They better get their heads together or they're gonna slap leather
There's a lot of good people who are led astray
And it's hard to imagine how the flames of passion
Can burn you till your soul will melt
And she started telling how she felt
That believe what the good book said
