Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Well, he was [D]the assistant preacher
and the Sunday school teacher
In the church that I grew up in
She was looker from Atlanta,
led the choir, played piano
[A]Had a body that was made for sin
She [D]didn't care that he was married,
cause the torch that she carried
[G]Was hotter than the fires of hell
She had [D]plans to seduce him,
[G]if she could, she could loosen
A [A]notch in the Bible [D]Belt
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
If you could [A]help me it
would sure be nice'
They met [D]a few minutes after
in the office of the Pastor
[G]And she started telling how she felt
What [D]a chance they were takin' [G]when
they first started breakin'
[A]The laws of the Bible Belt
[D]

[Verse 2]
There's [G]a lot of good people
who are led astry
That be[D]lieve what the good Book said
Well, [G]I'll tell ya somethin' brother when
you're dealin' with the Devil
It's [Em]tough to keep [G]a level [Am]head
[A]And it's har[D]d to imagine how
the flames of passion
[G]Can burn you till your soul will melt
And it'll [D]spread like a cancer [G]but
you're gonna have to answer
To [A]the Lord and the Bible Belt

[Verse 3]
Someone [D]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
[A]Alone with two pre-school kids
kids
I don't [D]know how they're doin' but
I know that they're screwin' [G]up
A good thing they once had
They better [D]get their heads together
[G]or they're gonna slap leather
[A]With the Lord and the Bible Belt
[D]
