Lyrics:

Well, he was a New York attorney
'Bout to 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 than the fires of hell
But he said he didn't need her
So she followed down deep
Into the buckle of the Bible Belt

She begged and she pleaded
And she told him all she needed
Was a little tender lovin' care
But he was wrapped up in his work
And acting like a jerk
By pretending that she wasn't there
But her heart was love-stricken
So she never thought of quittin'
Or givin' up on how she felt
She had plans to seduce him
If she could, she would loosen
A notch in the Bible Belt

There's a lot of good people who are led astray
That believe true love is dead
But I'll tell you 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 'til your soul will melt
And it'll spread like a cancer
'Til you're gonna have to answer
To your heart and the Bible Belt

Well, no matter who you are
If you're a peasant or a star
There's a need for love in every man
And he found it pretty soon
Underneath the Southern moon
When she finally made him understand
That every man's got his pride
And he'll try to run and hide
From emotions that his heart has felt
So he gave her love a chance
That's when he found romance
In the heart of the Bible Belt

There's a lot of good people who are led astray
That believe true love is dead
But I'll tell you 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 'til your soul will melt
And it'll spread like a cancer
But you're gonna have to answer
To your heart and the Bible Belt

They better get their heads together
Or they're gonna slap leather
With their hearts and the Bible Belt
Amen, brother...
