"Bible Belt" lyrics

"Bible Belt"

Everybody's talkin'
Everybody's watchin'
The whole town's goin' straight to hell
Everybody's talkin'
Everybody's watchin'
Put another notch in the Bible Belt

Lipstick on a MAPCO coffee cup
Backseat, watch your momma get all dolled up
Countin' change, sittin' at the pump
'Til the sun comes up she'll be handin' out love
Too young to stay by myself at home
Old enough to know what's goin' on
Sleepin' with somebody new
Just doin' what she's gotta do

I hope that he's a nice man
That one day we can

Get out of these heels
Get off of these pills
And pay them bills with all our clothes on
And one day I won't feel wrong
Born into this fire
Don't wanna die here
I just want someone to see me
No, I didn't choose my family

Everybody's talkin'
Everybody's watchin'
The whole town's goin' straight to hell
Everybody's talkin'
Everybody's watchin'
Put another notch in the Bible Belt

Mama kept her men written in a book
Sometimes I'd sit and thumb it through
See the mayor, my preacher, my teachers
At any hour of the night, they could reach her
Police came and tried to take me
But momma cried, she'd need her baby
It's like Heaven's door is shut, it's all corrupt
A prayer's enough

To get out of these heels
Get off of these pills
And pay them bills with all our clothes on
And one day I won't feel wrong
Born into this fire
Don't wanna die here
I just want someone to see me
No, I didn't choose my family

Everybody's talkin'
Everybody's watchin'
The whole town's goin' straight to hell
Everybody's talkin'
Everybody's watchin'
Put another notch in the Bible Belt

Country prison
Single white cell
If God's still listenin'
I'm prayin' like hell we

Get out of these heels
Get off of these pills
And pay them bills with all our clothes on
And one day I won't feel wrong
Born into this fire
Don't wanna die here
I just want someone to see me
No, I didn't choose my family

Everybody's talkin'
Everybody's watchin'
The whole town's goin' straight to hell
Everybody's talkin'
Everybody's watchin'
Put another notch in the Bible Belt

Everybody's talkin'
Everybody's watchin'
The whole town's goin' straight to hell
Everybody's talkin'
Everybody's watchin'
Put another notch in the Bible Belt
Everybody's talkin'
Everybody's watchin'
The whole town's goin' straight to hell
Everybody's talkin'
Everybody's watchin'
Put another notch in the Bible Belt
Bible Belt
Bible Belt
