Bible Belt Songtext
von Ben Sollee

Bought an old tux coat at the vintage store*
Had a few holes in it from the man before
You wore a champagne dress
Bought it at Target cause it cost less
Rented an old house with spiral stairs
Watched you walk down them with flowers in your hair
Four months ago, I didn′t know your name
But I guess even as strangers we rattled the cage
There's a few folks whisperin′
The billboards say what they won't
We didn't ask your permission


I won′t wear your bible belt
Our baby boy was born late that year
Our past caught up with us and caused a few tears
But I loved you like a hard rain
I just want to see you shed those chains
Everyone′s tellin' us, "You better know His name."
Every blind man needs his cane
Yours are not my traditions
I cannot cure your regrets
We didn′t ask your permission
And I won't wear your bible belt
