Bible Belt

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Born in Amarillo when Reagan wore the crown To a couple of Houston lawyers who had just come to town Momma got a job with Campbell and Gray While Daddy was a runnin' for the county DA He went around town in a blue lapel pin But everybody knows a Democrat can't win in the Bible Belt Sundays we would all go to church Sing us some hymns and go to Luby's afterwards Talk about the sermon and talk about the sky Over a LuAnne platter and a pecan pie It was like church and Luby's could save us from our sins Or maybe we were just tryin' to fit in to the Bible Belt [Chorus] It's 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, you televangelists Well some call it Heaven, I call it Hell Livin' in west Texas Bible Belt [Verse 2] When the time came I went off to Texas Tech But I made bad grades writing fraternity checks So I transferred out to South Plains in Levelland Started makin' A's so I started up a band Nobody would ever come to my shows I guess they don't like that ol' rock 'n roll in the Bible Belt [Chorus] It's 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, you televangelists Well some call it heaven, I call it hell Livin' in west Texas Bible Belt [Solo] [Verse 3] So I'm sittin' right in the liquor store line Had to leave at eleven just to make it in time I don't understand how the county's not wet It would help with the drought, it would help with the debt But up here change and time move slow It's just one more thing they can veto In the Bible Belt In the Bible Belt In the Bible Belt In the Bible Belt
