Well, he was the assistant preacher
and the Sunday school teacher
in the church that I grew up in.
She was a looker from Atlanta,
led the choir, played piano,
had a body that was made for sin.
She didn't care he was married
'cause the torch that she carried
was hotter than the fires of hell.
She had plans to seduce him.
If she could, she would loosen
a notch in the Bible 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 help me, it would sure be nice."
They met a few minutes after
in the office of the pastor,
and she started tellin' how she felt.
What a chance they were takin'
when they first started breakin'
the laws of the Bible Belt.
There's a lot of good people
who are led astray

Well, I'll tell you somethin', brother,
when you're dealin' with the devil,
it's tough to keep a level head.
And it's hard to imagine
how the flames of passion
can burn till your soul will melt.
And it'll spread like a cancer,
but you're gonna have to answer
to the Lord and the Bible Belt.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, Lord.
Someone 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
alone with two preschool kids.
I don't know how they're doin',
but I know that they're screwin' up
a good thing they once had.
They better get their heads together,
or they're gonna slap leather
with the Lord and the Bible Belt, yeah.
