[Intro]
G G G G
[Verse 1]
G
Born in Amarillo when Reagan wore the crown
To a couple of Houston lawyers who had just come to town
C
Momma got a job with Campbell and Gray
G
While Daddy was a runnin' for the county DA
D
He went around town in a blue lapel pin
C G G G G G
But everybody knows a Democrat can't win in the Bible Belt
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 LuAnne platter and a pecan pie
D
It was like church and Luby's could save us from our sins
C G G G G G
Or maybe we were just tryin' to fit in to the Bible Belt
[Chorus]
C
It's a real fine place to see the Lord
G
Starin' down at you from a big billboard
C
A hundred thousand churches from east to west
G
You can tune in on Sunday, you televangelists
D
Well some call it Heaven, I call it Hell
C
Livin' in west Texas
G G G G G

[Verse 2]
G
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 in Levelland
G
Started makin' A's so I started up a band
D
Nobody would ever come to my shows
C G G G G G
I guess they don't like that ol' rock 'n roll in the Bible Belt
[Chorus]
C
It's a real fine place to see the Lord
G
Starin' down at you from a big billboard
C
A hundred thousand churches from east to west
G
You can tune in on Sunday, you televangelists
D
Well some call it heaven, I call it hell
C
Livin' in west Texas

[Solo]
(Guitar Plays Normal Progression While Mandolin Plays)
[Verse 3]
G
So I'm sittin' right in the liquor store line
Had to leave at eleven 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 move slow
C
It's just one more thing they can veto
G
