Bible Belt

[Verse 1]
Church ladies all can't hold their tongues
'Cause there's tattoos on the new drummer
The girls in the choir all hate my guts
'Cause the pastor's son wants my number
They saw some old boots in my trunk
They called me a dancing heathen
Someone said I sang at a club
Now rumor is I got a demon

[Chorus]
A first-class flight overseas
Don't make you no missionary
I wore a skirt last week
This week, they preach on modesty
And, in Jesus, I believe
But they don't practice what they preach
I pray before I eat
They pray after they cheat
This Bible Belt is beating on me

[Verse 2]
Gossiping at Bible study
Is she pregnant or getting fat?
Pastor says, "Pray for everybody"
Well, unless they're a Democrat
Preacher begging us to give
He don't even say, "Please"
Does my ten percent go to his brand new Mercedes?
Pastor's son is smoking pot in the church's parking lot
They whisper about who I kiss
Worry 'bout your own damn kids

[Chorus]
A first-class flight overseas
Don't make you no missionary
I wore a skirt last week
This week, they preach on modesty
And, in Jesus, I believe
But they don't practice what they preach
I pray before I eat
They pray after they cheat
This Bible Belt is beating on me

[Bridge]
Apostolic turned alcoholic
Spend my dollars on new carpet
Pastor said that he's pro-rockets
But God forbid I shop at Target
Holy rollers roll their eyes
They all think that I'm backsliding
They're all praying to the sky
Well, I talked to Jesus, He said I'm fine

[Chorus]
And, in Jesus, I believe
But they don't practice what they preach
I pray before I eat
They pray after they cheat
This Bible Belt is beating on me

[Outro]
I said this Bible Belt is beating on me
