Eli Rhodes - Bible Belt Kid

Small town Carolina
Hallelujah tent revival
Went to Church
Two times on Sunday
Then back again by Wednesday
Youth camp in the summer
Every Lock-in and 5th quarter
I was Picture perfect
From my mama's point of view
Had everyone including myself fooled
I would hide inside of my pew
Covering up all of my unglued
I was a ready to go sin again
Every week after amen
Saying grace
Made up for what I did
Just a typical hypocrite
A Bible belt kid
I had a nose for finding freedom
With punk rock drugs and Gina
In a hand me down Toyota
Where I really got to know the
The person that I really was
The one that I was running from
Every time I put on that blue tie
And suit
I swear to God
I thought nobody knew
I would hide inside of my pew
Covering up all of my unglued
I was a ready to go sin again
Every week after amen
Saying grace
Made up for what I did
Just a typical hypocrite
A Bible belt kid
Don't have a single prayer
That saved me
Just the cross I carry daily
I found salvation in surrender
Not a southern Baptist preacher
I would hide inside of my pew
Covering up all of my unglued
I was a ready to go sin again
Every week after amen
Saying grace
Made up for what I did
Just a typical hypocrite
A Bible belt kid
But Jesus could and did
Save this Bible Belt Kid
