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
