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
