Bible Belt (Acoustic)

Lo and behold your mother

Is drinking again

This might be the coldest winter

Since records began

You were alone and

Steady with wintry calm

Leading the children softly across the fold

Each morning you march your sisters

Like soldiers to school

'Cause lo and behold your father

Has drunk quite a few

You were alone and steady with wintry calm

Somewhere inside the fire

Of your youth went dark

But you swear blind

There is no weight in the water pail

You say my love

You take the cards that you're dealt

Because there's no guiding light

Arcing a line to Bethlehem

If it's dark outside

You light the fire yourself

Darling when the ice caps melt

When the devils in the bible belt

Don't you cower in your bed

I'll be at the five four five

You can meet me at the railway line

Don't look so staid

'Cause we've been through worse

Than this before we could talk

And the trick of it is

Don't be afraid anymore

Oh the trick of it is

Don't be afraid anymore
