[G]
Born in Amarillo when Reagan wore the crown, to a couple Houston lawyers who had just come to town.
[C] Mama got a job with Campbell and Gray, [G] while Daddy was a-running for the county DA.
[D] He went around town in a blue lapel pin, [C] but everybody knows a Democrat can't win [G] in the Bible Belt.
[C] [G]
On Sundays we would all go to church, sing us some hymns and go to Luby's afterwards.
[C] Talk about the sermon and talk about the sky, [G] over a Lou Anne platter and a pecan pie.
[D] It was like church and Luby's could save us from our sins, [C] or maybe we were just trying to fit [G] into the Bible Belt.
[C] It's a real fine place to see the Lord, [G] staring down at you from a big billboard.
[C] A hundred thousand churches from east to west, you [G] can tune in on Sunday.
You tell evangelists, [D] well some call it heaven, I call it hell, [C] living in West Texas.
[Gm] [Am] Bible [G] Belt.
When the time came I went off to Texas Tech, but I made bad grades writing fraternity checks.
[C] So I transferred out to South Plains and level land.
[G] Started making A's, so I started up a band.
[D] Nobody ever would come to my shows, [C] I guess they don't like good old rock and roll [G] in the Bible Belt.
[C] It's a real fine place to see the Lord, [G] staring down at you from a big billboard.
[C] A hundred thousand churches from east to west, you [Gm] can tune [G] in on Sunday.
You tell evangelists, well [D] some call it heaven, I call it hell, [C] living in West Texas.

I'm sitting right here in the liquor store line, had to leave at 11 just to make it in time.
[C] I don't understand how the county's not wet, [G] it would help with the drought, it would help with the debt.
[D] But up here change and time moves slow, [C] it's just one more thing they can't veto.
[G] In the Bible Belt, in the Bible Belt, in the Bible Belt, in the Bible Belt.
Woo!
