Bible Belt

born in amirillo when reagan wore the crown

to a couple houston lawyers who had just came to town

mama got a job with campbell and grey

and daddy was running for the county DA

he went around town in a blue apell pen

but everybody knows a democrat cant win in the bible belt

well sundays we would all go to church

sing us some hyms and go to lubys afterwards

talk the sermon and talk about the sky

over a lu ann plater and a pecan pie

it was like church and lubys could save us from our sins

or maybe we were just trained to fit into the bible belt

its a real fine place to see the lord

starin down at you from a big billboard

a hundred thousand churches from east to west

you can tune in on sunday your teleevangislist

well some call it heaven, i call it hell

livin in west texas

bible belt

when the time came i went to texas tech

but i made bad grades written fraternity checks

so i transfered to south plains and level lands

started makin A's so i started up a band

nobody would ever come to my shows

i guess they dont like good ole rock and roll in the bible belt

its a real fine place to see the lord

starin down at you from a big billboard

a hundred thousand churches from east to west

you can tune in on sunday your teleevangislist

well some call it heaven, i call it hell

livin in west texas ... bible belt

so im sitin reight here in the liqour store line

had to leave at 11 just to make it in time

i dont understand how the countys not wet

it would help with the drought, it would help with the debt

but up here change and time move slow

its just one more thing that cant be told

in the bible belt
